Our Founder
Gerald "Gabby" Buyck's commitment to YCRCEE (YCRCEE B.S. Museum) goes beyond his role as its founder. As the CEO of Cowboy Nation Boot Repair, his enthusiasm permeates every project. A recognized children's author, member of the Alabama Council of Arts, and acknowledged by the Emerging Young Businessmen, Gerald is a distinguished serial entrepreneur with a proven track record of success.
Growing up as an economically disadvantaged child in the inner city, Mayor Coleman Young, a former Tuskegee Airman, played a crucial role in supporting various youth arts programs that Gerald actively participated in. Young served as a significant source of inspiration for him, contributing to the development of his appreciation for culture and community. Gerald attributes his enduring passion for people to the supportive environment at Alabama State University, his neighbors, and numerous mentors who generously shared wisdom, knowledge, and discipline in his life.
