Greg’s Legacy
Greg’s leadership helped build a more connected, inclusive, and forward-thinking tech community. He was a mentor, a collaborator, and a friend to many—always generous with his time, wisdom, and heart. Outside of his professional life, Greg was a devoted husband and father, and a lover of the outdoors who lived life with joy and purpose.
