Gard bought a copy of The Urantia Book in 1972 while studying comparative religion at Stanford University. His first impression was that it was like no other book that he had been familiar with in either philosophy or religion. He says that, “Reading The Urantia Book for the first time was the beginning of a pilgrimage of discovery, the beginning of the realization that God has a will for each of our lives. This pilgrimage is the greatest adventure that one could ever imagine.”

After 25 years as a certified public accountant and financial planner, Gard returned to college to obtain a PhD in comparative religion at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California.He has published three books having to do with the epic narratives of China, India, and the West, and has been teaching Chinese and Indian philosophy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for the last 20 years.

Gard has been a beloved trustee and treasurer of Urantia Foundation since February of 1998. He is the co-founder of the Children's Advocacy Alliance, the Interfaith Council of Southern Nevada, the Nevada Community Foundation, and with his wife, Florence, Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada, a free and charitable healthcare clinic for those without access to healthcare.

Gard launched Compassionate Las Vegas for non-profit leaders working with marginalized, underserved populations. He also serves on the boards of the Global Charter for Compassion and the Alf Museum of Life in Claremont, CA. Most recently, Gard joined the board of the Jeremiah Program, a national nonprofit with one of the most successful strategies for disrupting generational poverty among single mothers and their children.
