5 Facts About Gavriel Friedson
Gary Freidson started his career as a medic/EMT—that much we know. Here are five facts that you probably didn’t know about Katie Pavlich’s husband:
1. He’s a Florida Native
Friedson was born in the United States. His family moved to Israel when he was around 10 years old.
His wife, however, is an Arizona native. She was born in Phoenix to a family of German and Croat descent. The family name “Pavlich” is actually Croatian.

2. He Served in the IDF
Gavy Friedson joined the IDF for a while. First, he was an infantry soldier, as he reportedly served in the “Nahal” Brigade.
Later, he transitioned from his role as an infantry soldier and become a spokesperson.
3. Both His Family and His Wife’s Family Have a Military Background
Friedson wasn’t the first military man in either his or his wife’s family, though. Both his grandfather and grandfather-in-law were in the U.S. Army during World War II.
His grandfather was a medic, while Katie Pavlich’s grandfather served as a Bushmaster in the South Pacific.

4. He Used to Intern at a PR Firm
The Fox host’s husband is mostly known for being a medic. Still, not a lot of people know that he worked in public relations for a bit.
On his Facebook profile, Gavy Friedson mentions that he used to work at Sunshine Sachs. Apparently, he was an intern there.
This is a PR and narrative consultancy firm founded by Ken Sunshine. One year after its launch, however, the firm was renamed because Shawn Sachs came aboard as a partner.
Now, however, the firm’s official name is Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis.
All in all, the firm focuses on reputation management, crisis communication, and corporate image for its high-profile clients.
Remember that Gavy Friedson has a BA in communication. So, it makes sense that he would join a company in this line of work. That being said, there isn’t much info about his time at the firm or when he left.

5. He Worked at the URJ Crane Lake Camp in Massachusetts
The URJ Crane Lake Camp is also listed on Gavy Friedson’s profile as a previous work experience.
This is a summer reform camp (for kids in grades 2–12) in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts. However, it’s not clear what role Katie Pavlich’s husband played there or where this job fits in his career timeline.
Key Takeaways
To recap, Friedson is a Florida native who works in emergency management. He has been married to the Fox panelist Katie Pavlich since 2017.
