He was born on November 15, 1948 in Novato, California to Bridget and Lionel Berry. He spent most of his life in Salt Lake City, Utah attending school, raising a family, working, and enjoying the inspiration of the local landscape of the Wasatch Mountains. Gaylord was a graduate of the University of Utah where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology and Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. He was passionate about his career in the medical device industry and worked many years at Abbott Laboratories and CardioPulmonics.
