As a Minister
Gary spent over 40 years serving as a Pastor in different capacities in the San Diego area of California. Just about the time Gary was retiring from his position as a Pastor he discovered the game of Pickleball. Right after that the Heinlein's moved their residence to Payson Arizona. Even though Gary is retired as a Pastor, he and Kathy are both involved in ministry and helping people to win in life. That means helping people to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of them fulfilling the plan God has for their life. So even though Gary is a Player/Coach for Pickleball, he is still active in ministry as well.
