Greg joined Heritage Community Services very simply because he has been teaching this all his professional life and he sees the need for such an awesome, life- and culture-changing program. He says this is a tremendous opportunity to be involved in something that truly makes a positive statement and change in our communities, as well as in the lives of countless people, marriages and families. It will be a wonderful legacy that can be given to my children and family, and to many others as well. I know I have been called to be here and am very thankful for this opportunity and outstanding program and people.
