OVERGAARD, Ariz., Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gary Spear could be called an adventurous entrepreneur.
He currently operates two businesses, one of which is a U-Haul neighborhood dealership. Spear has owned and managed 15 different businesses in his life, and past ventures have led Spear into the fields of technology, accounting, plumbing, propane gas and trucking.
"I jump between businesses because they are all fun," Spear said. "I like to try new things."
Spear recently jumped into his U-Haul partnership, adding trucks, trailers and towing equipment, support rental items, in-store pick-up for boxes and after-hours drop-off to his service line at the Gary Spear Agency at 2739 Mogollon Drive in Overgaard.

Spear's primary line of work is in insurance, taxes and accounting. He has been a tax accountant for 26 years and operated his own agency for five years.

"The staff at every location is a big help," Spear said.

"He was an entrepreneur since his early 20s. He helped me start my first business," the younger Spear recalled.
In addition to the Gary Spear Agency, Spear's operates a travel agency: White Mountain Travel. After traveling on his own, Spear wanted to open a traditional travel agency.
"My number one favorite place is Hawaii – the big island," Spear said. "We have resources the Average Joe doesn't, like condos all over the world and packaged deals."
