Gary Lister (born 1957) is a non-fiction writer from the American South. He lives in his hometown of Cochran, Georgia, a small town in the northern edge of the Wiregrass Region. He and his wife Lynne have two sons.
Lister is a contributing editor for the American School Board Journal and crossword puzzle editor for the Wesleyan Christian Advocate. He is chairman of the Bleckley County Board of Education. He serves on numerous board and committees, such as the Heart of Georgia Technical College Foundation, the Give Something Back International Foundation, and the Children's Charitable Foundation.
Lister has had a long and distinguished career as a civil servant at Robins Air Force Base. He began in 1977 as a data entry clerk and is currently the Deputy Chief of the Commander's Action Group (CAG). Lister founded Wiregrass Communications in 2007, anticipating retirement from the US Air Force, and is very busy as a professional editor and proofreader.
Decades of work and education have taken their toll; in a June 20, 2007 article in the Macon Telegraph, columist Ed Grisamore said Lister "looks the part of a distinguished author.....with a head full of gray hair."
Education
Lister is a product of (and an advocate of) public education. He graduated from Cochran High School in 1975. He holds an Associate of Science degree from Middle Georgia College, a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and a Master of Business Administration degree from Georgia College & State University, and a Master of Science in Quality Assurance degree from Southern Polytechnic State University.
