 Garret comes from a glider family. His parents have owned Sky Sailing Inc. since 1979. Growing up on an airport made it seem natural to solo on his 14th birthday in 18 different sailplanes. Two years later he soloed all of the towplanes and earned a private license. He then started instructing the day after his 18th birthday. Since then, Garret has represented the US Junior team in 2003 and 2005. He graduated from Embry-Riddle with a bachelor's degree in Professional Aeronautics.
Garret attended George Lee's camp at Plain Soaring, later using that knowledge in open class to win the 2009 US Open Class Nationals, and winning the Larissa Strouekoff Trophy in 2005 and 2006 for the fastest flight during a contest. Garret represented the US Open Class team in 2008 and 2010. His last move in classes was when he left 60:1 super ships to fly in Club Class. Garret was the first US Club Class National Champion in 2013.
He is a full-time glider flight instructor at Sky Sailing, contributing writer at AllThingsAero.com and assisting in technical service at the newly owned Wings and Wheels.
