Gina and Scott Gaille are passionate world travelers whose thirst for international experience began in their childhoods in small-town America. Gina grew up in central Michigan, and Scott in south Texas. While their classmates wanted to be actors, athletes, or rock stars, Scott and Gina both dreamed of exploring the world. Gina's favorite TV show was Hart to Hart, whose globetrotting detectives-played by Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers-journeyed to China, Australia, South America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Scott spent Sunday evenings glued to Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, whose safari-jacketed host, Marlin Perkins, introduced him to exotic landscapes and their peoples. It was Gina and Scott's shared passion for experiential travel that brought them together as a couple.

As an international energy expert, Scott frequently travels around the world as a consultant and speaks on issues affecting the energy industry at corporations, campuses, and conferences. He is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago Law School and an Adjunct Professor of Management at Rice University's Graduate School of Business. He is the author of three energy textbooks and the Gaille Energy Blog.
