Born in Ohio and raised in Exeter, NH, Greg came to Manchester in 1980 and began his career in social services when he was hired by New Horizons for New Hampshire as the Coordinator for the soup kitchen it had just started. After four years with New Horizons he worked for NH Catholic Charities as the first Director of the NH Food Bank. This was followed by several years as a Product Manager for Amoskeag Bank Shares, and in 1990 he returned to New Horizons as Executive Director.
