Greg spent 40+ years in sales and marketing roles with different manufacturing companies, the last 30 years in various leadership positions. A few years ago, he retired from corporate life and moved into the nonprofit world. He now helps companies connect to nonprofit missions that fit the company’s values and social initiatives. Currently he is an independent rep working with MATTER, a local nonprofit, where he sells employee engagement events to companies in which a team building activity is combined with service to the community and charitable giving.
