Prior to joining CAA in 1999, Gering was a Motion Picture Agent at the William Morris Agency (WME) for two years, working out of both its New York and Los Angeles offices. Before joining WME, Gering served as Director of Production and Development at Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal’s Tribeca Productions in New York City, where he supervised such films as A BRONX TALE, FAITHFUL, and MARVIN’S ROOM. Contrary to Hollywood lore, Gering did not begin his film career as De Niro’s limousine driver, but rather as a location scout for various feature films in New York. In the early days of scouting locations for A BRONX TALE, De Niro was a frequent passenger in the scouting vehicle.

Through the CAA Community and Impact division, Gering is actively involved in a number of volunteer and charitable activities. Additionally, he and his family support the YWCA, CoachArt, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

A native of New York, Gering received his bachelor’s degree from Boston University. He lives with his wife, Jane, and their three children, Holden, Gable, and Blythe.
