Greg is an advertising design director whose purpose is to create work that inspires people to get outside and become advocates of a brighter future. He discovered his calling while studying graphic design at Middle Tennessee State University and exploring the mountains, rivers and trails of the southern Appalachians. This combination laid the foundation for a career in advertising that has focused on outdoor recreation and advocacy. Creating award winning campaigns for The North Face, Eddie Bauer, Vail Resorts, Aspen Snowmass as well as the Colorado Tourism Office, his work embraces the value of how great design paired with thoughtful messaging can create tangible amounts of buzz, and even spur social change.
