Gary Hart
Principal
816-471-2559
Gary has more than 30 years of industry experience. He started HART in 1981. He moved the company and his family to Kansas City in 1987. Gary grew the territory over the years to include a five-state span, including Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and southern Illinois, and to represent both furniture and interior-architecture-product manufacturers. He expanded Hart Associates to the south as well, and started a Texas operation in 1992. Gary is proud to have all four of his children in the business (all four have worked for him and three still do). When he isn’t working, Gary enjoys grilling/cooking, yard work, spending time with his grandchildren, and even more family time.
