At multiple branches of REM Wisconsin, a subsection of the MENTOR Network, Mr. Gallagher was the nurse assistant, house coordinator, personal care worker and companion from 1999 to 2006. In the three years leading up to this appointment, he was an executive director at Cordial Unlimited Inc.

While living in Chicago, IL, Mr. Gallagher attended the Northwestern College, where earned an Associate of Science for business administration in 1982.

Afterwards, he moved to Wisconsin, where he attended the Madison Area Technical College in Reedsburg, WI, where he became a nursing assistant in 2004.
Mr. Gallagher became interested in writing as a high school student while reading books for reading assignments. He later began pursuing the work of artists in the form of books and films. With this new infatuation, he decided he would write works for adolescents, enrolling in writing classes at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a result.
The state of Wisconsin presented Mr. Gallagher with a grant from 1995 to 1998 to publish four books for mental health consumers, their families, and those who provide mental wellness services. The nonprofit he helmed, Cordial Unlimited Inc., used the grant money to print 900 copies of the "Stress Kit Workbook," and 600 copies of the "Americans with Disabilities Act," "Gaining Access: Financial Benefits for the Disabled," and "Managed Care and You." He co-authored and co-edited the books alongside a friend who also ran the nonprofit alongside him.
Recently, Mr. Gallagher wrote a novel about mental health in adolescence called "The Domain," a writing experience he still considers to be the highlight of his career. Before this experience, he dedicated the time to writing novellas such as "Disability Money Secrets," "Callaventia and Versaroma," "The Perkowitz," "Things I Never Told My Doctor" and "The Art of Learning." An Amazon-listed author, he also authored "My Collection" and "The Presider."
Mr. Gallagher credits a lot of his success to Tracy Boldt, Betty Blaska and Eric Peterson. Alongside Tracy Boldt, he was awarded the three years of government grants that allowed them to produce educational resource material books.
