About Greg’s Impact

Greg has been a cornerstone of the SPM experience, bringing a rare combination of creativity, technical expertise, and mentorship to the program.

He played a foundational role in designing, relocating, and rebuilding the SPM Innovation Lab twice, ensuring each space was fully functional, safe, and optimized for hands-on learning. Beyond the lab itself, Greg built and nurtured relationships with factories, suppliers, and industry partners, expanding access to materials, tools, and real-world insights that directly enhanced the student experience.

Most importantly, Greg has invested countless hours mentoring students and supporting faculty with humility, patience, and care. His impact extends far beyond the lab and will continue to be felt across the SPM community for years to come.
