Gary and Gwen Bentley founded Bentley Turtle Farms in 1998 with their daughter Rachel and son Hunter.  Rachel married Matthew Bradford in 2004 and they now have three daughters.  They all work the turtle farm together and enjoy life with family and friends.  In Gary's early adult life he worked many jobs such as dish washer, grocery store clerk, shoe salesman, and truck driver.  Throughout his journey as an entrepreneur he had little to work with aside from his entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic.  Working through multiple business ventures from restaurant proprietor to mussel shell exporter, Gary now has 40 years experience as a successful entrepreneur!
