Greg has worked as a certified public accountant, an international banker, a registered fiduciary and for the past 19 years as an investment advisor to a select clientele. Greg taught financial statement analysis as an instructor in the University of California at Santa Barbara extension program.
Greg has served in numerous philanthropic capacities for various charities including the Dream Foundation, Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation, Emmaus of Santa Barbara and the St. Francis Hospital Foundation.
The Dream Foundation serves terminally-ill adults and their families by providing end-of-life Dreams that offer inspiration, comfort and closure.
The Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation advocates for families in the Central Coast with a child undergoing cancer treatment by providing financial, educational and emotional support.
While Greg highly values his time serving each worthy charity, he is especially proud of his early work with Emmaus of Santa Barbara. Emmaus was an educational organization committed to empowering young people to break the cycles of abuse, violence, addiction and other destructive behaviors by providing the techniques, skills, and guidance necessary for them to realize their self-worth, fulfill their potential, and learn responsibility to self and others. Emmaus endeavored to empower at-risk youth, and some of the most vulnerable and in need in the community.
Greg is hopeful that through this scholarship he and his family can help contribute to the young minds that will help shape, inspire and carry the torch of education and continued philanthropy to the next generation.
