Under Greg's presidency, the Rotary Club of St. Catharines South invested in the Guatemala Literacy project, the Fog Quest project, the Gift of Reading program, and FACs summer camp. The club also sponsored a Shelter Box, which was used to shelter flood victims in Namibia, Africa.
Greg is particularly proud that the club sponsored the first Early Act Club at MotherTeresa School in St. Catharines.
A geologist turned entrepreneur, Greg is a take-charge individual with a quiet touch. He sees in Rotary the opportunity to help people improve their lives.
