“Gale is one passionate guy! When you are in communication with him there is an intensity of mission, he is 100% in the moment with you. He not only makes you feel like you're important, Gale lets you know that you are important to him - and leaves you with a renewed notion of pushing the cause. I've known Gale in other capacities and can vouch for his sincerity, patience, and compassion towards others in need. He has demonstrated across a number of contexts his will to righteously do the best he can. If for some reason Gale gets the inkling to look elsewhere in furthering his career aspirations, I suggest you act quickly in setting up a time to discuss his intentions. A person like Gale will not be on the market long,”
