About the Author
Gary McKinney empowers believers to grow in faith, embrace their identity in Christ, and step boldly into purpose. With nearly 40 years of experience in construction and real estate, he’s led teams that bring vision to life through hands-on leadership and collaboration. But the most meaningful foundation he’s ever worked on isn’t made of steel or concrete—it’s built on faith.
Throughout his career and family life, Gary has sought to live according to his life verse, “But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). That pursuit has shaped his leadership, his business decisions, and now, his writing.
In his first book, SEEK-1ST…Winning with the Name, Image, & Likeness (of Christ), Gary inspires believers to live as active players on God’s team in the lifelong game of faith this side of heaven. Forged through decades of spiritual growth, professional excellence, and real-world experience, his message resonates with those seeking to build lives that matter. He lives in Lubbock, Texas with his wife, where they raised their son and daughter, and continues to work actively in the DFW Metroplex. Whether in business, ministry, or creative outreach, Gary remains committed to building both in the marketplace and the Kingdom—believing the best “builds” are still ahead.
