Biography

In 1979, Gary & Norma Smalley started an organization focused on helping families. After the formation of a board, they launched the CMI organization out of Waco, Texas. A few years later they moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Gary co-authored two books with Steve Scott during that time titled, If Only He Knew and For Better or For Best. In 1985 the organization was renamed Today's Family.

In 1988, Gary partnered with American Telecast's Steve Scott and they launched a nationwide infomercial with Dick Clark as the host of a half-hour television program. That infomercial was re-introduced in 1990 and 1992 through John Tesh & Connie Sellecca and then Frank & Kathie Lee Gifford.

The Blessing and The Two Sides of Love[2] won the Gold Medallion Award for excellence in literature. The Language of Love won the Angel Award as the best contribution to family life.[citation needed]

Gary Smalley has appeared on national televisions programs such as "The Oprah Winfrey Show", "Larry King Live", "Extra", "NBC Today Show" as well as numerous national radio programs.
