Dr. Telgenhoff is currently employed as a Forensic Pathologist and Deputy Medical Examiner at the Clark County Coroner's Office, Las Vegas, Nevada.

He originally began the job seeing 1000 (45 of which were monicides) per year. Now with the addition of new staff the number has dropped to a comfortable number of about 700 with approximately 35 homicides a year. His presence is often required in court with regard to his findings and determination of cause and manner of death.

Convoluted would best describe the path to his present occupation.

Gary was born in Cadillac, Michigan, population approximately 10,000.

His father, Don, is a retired Telephone Man. His mother, Ella is a Housewife. His sister Judy, employee of FourWinns Boats, mother grandmother.

Dr. T. lived in a lower, middle class life style and graduated from Cadillac Senior High School in the lower 25th percentile of his class.

Although there may have been "more" potential there, the majority of his young life he was interested in nothing but drums, bands, and rock and roll.

The interest became an obsession and a dream of playing the big stages.

The obsession continued through four years at Spring Arbor College in Michigan. After graduation in 1979 with a degree in biology and chemistry, he pursued music with various bands making a modest living in clubs and concerts.

Some of the musicians he performed with were: Don Hartman (from the Michigan band Frost), Dick Wagner (guitarist for Lou Reed and Alice Cooper), Robbin Robbins (keyboardist for Bob Seger), Henry Weck (drummer for Brownsville Station and producer for Blackfoot). He replaced Henry Weck in the Michigan band Whiz Kidz (founded by Pat McCaffrey and now based in Palm Springs California.)
