About Gary
Gary Quesenberry was born in Hillsville, Virginia, where his parents taught him the value of hard work, patriotism, and commitment to family. He enlisted in the United States Army at the age of seventeen, where he served as an artilleryman during Operation Desert Storm. After the events of 9/11, Gary went to work as a Federal Air Marshal. There, he traveled the world in his country’s service and devoted his time to studying the fields of violence and predatory behavior. In October 2020, Gary retired from federal law enforcement and returned to the quiet solitude of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
About Homecoming
Case Younger has grown tired of fighting and wants nothing more than to leave the anger-fueled days of his past behind. But that all changes when someone hijacks a routine flight from Athens to Philadelphia, killing Case’s friend and thrusting him back into the deadly world he’s worked so hard to escape. To avoid the media frenzy that follows, Case returns home to the quiet seclusion of Pikesville, Virginia. Home, however, isn’t quite as idyllic as he remembers.

The Spotting Danger Series
Throughout my career as a Federal Air Marshal, I learned a lot of valuable lessons about predatory violence, personal safety, and security in unfamiliar environments. I also learned what it takes to develop situational awareness and how to pass that knowledge on to you and your family. Each book in the HEADS-UP series is devoted to a specific aspect of situational awareness, from its foundational elements to how it affects your kids, teens, and travel.
