Personal
(Taken on my birthday at the Hospital Bar Rapid of the Southfork of the American River near Sacramento California in 1993)
Curious? As you can see in the photo, I used to enjoy whitewater kayaking. This picture was taken in 1993 when I worked for "Outdoor Adventures" as a kayaking instructor. Now that I am in Florida, whitewater is out because this state is flat.
My wife and I own a Welsh Corgi named Wilber, who is the latest in a long line of Corgis.
I will be on sabbatical Fall 2025, where I will reside at the High Magnetic Field Lab doing research on large language models in support of the user base of the facility.
If you are reading this page to decide if I am the same Gary Tyson you knew long ago, here is some biographical information to help you decide.
- 1963-1972 I lived in various locations around the world and I looked much different than I do now.
- 1972-1977 San Antonio, Texas
- 1978-1979 New Orleans, LA (Ben Franklin High School)
- 1980-1990 Sacramento, CA (JFK High School, CSUS -- B.S. and M.S.)

Here are some "historical" pictures of me so you can decide if I am the Gary Tyson you remember. The first was taken around 1980 (high school graduation) and the second was taken around 1990.
