Gary Galvin started Galvin Creative Technologies in the basement of his home in 2003 after working with a national technology firm. Gary, at the age of 23, was part of the original team that developed Ergo Audrey, an internet appliance designed to help make access to the Internet easier and more convenient. Living in Chicago at the time, Gary traveled the country in support of this product and the Dot.com industry.
Seeking other challenges, he and his wife relocated to Indianapolis in 2002 with the intention of staying for only two years. They both wanted to explore the United States but upon their arrival, quickly discovered it was a place they wanted to call home. Not knowing anyone when they relocated but with a dream in his mind, he set out to make himself known by visiting door-to-door every Friday for three months. Through sharing his vision and establishing relationships – which is the foundation of his company - his dream of starting his own business finally became a reality.
Gary is originally from Farmington Hills, Michigan and is a 2000 graduate of the University of Dayton with a BS from the School of Business. While acting as the University’s mascot, Rudy Flyer, Gary also played Lacrosse and majored in Management Information Systems.
