Profile

Gary Burrell (born 1937) is an American businessman, co-founder and chairman emeritus of Garmin, makers of popular Global Positioning System devices.

He earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from Wichita State University and a masters degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Along with partner Min Kao, Burrell founded Garmin in 1989 to make navigation devices for aviation and boating using the Global Positioning System. Their original office was two folding chairs and a card table. U.S. Army servicemen loved GPS during the first Gulf War, even though Garmin never had a military contract. Later on, the technology was expanded for the U.S. market, providing directions across all United States roads and highways.

In 2007, Burrell ranked #114 on the Forbes 400 list of America's richest people. As of March 2013, his net worth was $1.3 B.
