His return to the board reflects an excitement about the Society's contributions to the flourishing landscape of private lake management.

 

A seasoned fisherman from a young age, Greg initiated his lake management career in 1991 during his undergraduate studies in biology.  Joining a lake management company, his thirst for knowledge propelled him to pursue a master’s degree in Fisheries from the University of Georgia in 1998.
