Prior to becoming a Principal with HKGi, Greg established his own planning firm known for its high-quality work and its hands-on assessment approach. He has built his professional reputation on his ability to use public opinion surveys, focus group sessions, design charrettes and other interactive methods to gauge a community’s needs, desires and concerns.
