Greg spent over 12 years working in the defense industry. Known for his adaptability and quick problem solving, he quickly slid into web development roles; at one point even building an in-house program management tool. Eventually this work led to him finding and developing a passion for web accessibility, an area focused on making sure the web can be used by all, including those with any number of disabilities. His current focus is on continuing the expansion of this important field. Outside of his professional career, Greg has led his local condo association as Board President for over 10 years, focusing on a path of fiscal solvency, continued improvements to the infrastructure and facilities, and manageable fees.
