OUR COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
GARY JENNINGSBorn: February 13, 1955
Morristown, Tennessee
I lived most of my early years in East Tennessee and New Mexico. My father was a miner and worked in the zinc mines in Tennessee and uranium mines in New Mexico. My mother was a stay at home mom most of her married life. I have 2 younger brothers - 1 in Orlando Florida area and the other in Mooresburg TN. As a youngster, I seemed to have a knack for sports but particularly football. I played from 6th grade until 9th grade. I took a couple of years off when my parents passed and resumed my senior year of high school. I was fortunate enough to earn an athletic scholarship to play quarterback for East Tennessee State University where I lettered 3 years and earned a bachelors degree in Business Administration.
I was again blessed to
meet my future wife Debra at ETSU. We were married in
August of 1979 and have been together closing in on 50
years. We have 2 sons - Justin who is a professor at
Wake Forest University and Jordan who is a partner in a
media firm in Los Angeles CA. As of this writing, we
have two amazing grandsons.
I moved our family to
Greensboro from Johnson City TN in 1985. We were
transferred to Knoxville from 1988 to 1990 and transferred
back to Greensboro in 1990. I've worked in the Information
Technology field for Kayser-Roth Corporation, Hanesbrands,
and XPO Logistics. I began playing golf in college and
immediately fell in love with the game and have been playing
regularly since. I was a member of the Bryan Park
Men's Golf Association for 25+ years and joined the Bryan
Park Senior Men's Golf Association in 2021. I was
honored to have been asked to join the BPSMGA staff as
Communications Director before my first tournament!
