About
Although traditional headhunters were a group of people living in the jungles and were reputed to hunt people, decapitating and shrinking their heads, modern day headhunters have become a bit more sophisticated.
My name is Gary Perman, and I’m a headhunter. I provide critical management for technology companies throughout North America. I identify top talent who have a track record of success in their field and I articulate to them…Why they should work for my client company.
My secondary passion is the enjoyment of good food and good wine, without the fancy “art” that so many “gourmet chefs” think is important to feed their egos.
You won’t find any “art platters” here, no fancy platters with something drizzled over a piece of meat the size of a cell phone and two anorexic sticks of asparagus on the plate.
Here, you will find interesting, sometimes exotic, but fun, filling dishes you can create and enjoy with family and friends and you don’t need to be a “chef” to prepare these food.
Enjoy!
Gary Perman, the Gourmet Headhunter

The Trunk Club is the modern day clothing club. Through the private membership, the looking is taken out of shopping and the hassle out of buying clothing. It is for men who believe in private memberships and want to buy in a different way.
Membership gives men access to the infamous clothing club, it includes access to the social lifestyle of the Trunk Club man. Members can access a clubroom near them, where they can enjoy a drink and relax, or they can join the virtual movement and have access from anywhere in the world. There is nothing quite like it anywhere.
