I have known Mr. Gary Boyd for several years as a student and colleague at the University of the Incarnate Word. I have served as his advisor and he has enrolled in several classes that I teach in the PhD in Organizational Leadership program including concepts of leadership. He has always performed excellent in my courses and contributed positively to the learning environment of the class.
He is a critical thinker that has excellent oral and written communication skills.
He is extremely creative, yet he has a unique way of putting his creative thoughts into action and is one of the most innovative people I have known in my life.
I truly believe Gary has great leadership skills. As a servant leader, he chooses service over self-interest and tries to act as a change agent and steward of the community. He has the charisma, communication skills, and good understanding of follower-ship to lead any organization effectively and positively influencing the people that he supervises.

I have also had the pleasure of co-teaching a blended course with Mr. Boyd. His contribution to the course was instrumental and demonstrated his ability to balance theoretical material with a practitioner’s perspective, resulting in the enhancement students’ learning of content and application. It was this balance of leadership, experience, and scholarship that proved invaluable when he served as a consultant to our first international conference last year, which was heralded as a success among those that attended. Mr. Boyd’s deserves credit for his guidance and expertise.
