Gary Nance Unveils a New Chapter of Strength and Creativity with CMG Worldwide

Architectural Designer. Athlete. Artist. Gary Nance proves that reinvention has no expiration date.

November 7th, 2025 — Beverly Hills, California — Few stories capture the power of reinvention like Gary Nance’s. A nationally recognized architectural designer and IFBB Pro bodybuilder, Nance continues to push boundaries in how strength and creativity take shape. After surviving two near-death health crises, including a 22-day coma during COVID-19, he’s become a living testament to resilience and second chances.

This week, Nance unveiled a new sculpture created in partnership with Elanco International, a global leader in animal health. The installation celebrates the connection between food and companionship, in parallel with Nance’s belief in living with purpose, community, and connection.

Now represented exclusively by CMG Worldwide, Nance is bringing that same message to audiences nationwide. As part of the CMG Speaks roster, he shares his story through motivational talks and leadership events, encouraging others to rebuild, reimagine, and rediscover purpose at any stage of life.

“Gary’s story is a true combination of artistry and grit,” said Mark Roesler, Founder and CEO of CMG Worldwide. “He reminds us that legacy isn’t just what we build, it’s how we rebuild.”

Over more than three decades, Nance built a respected career in architecture, with his work featured in Architectural Digest, Better Homes & Gardens, and Traditional Home. His design work reflected discipline, precision, and creative vision. His latest chapter is about rebuilding strength from the inside out and inspiring tens of thousands of people that it’s never too late to begin again.
