A legacy passed down
As a child, Greg knew his father was an architect, but didn’t really understand what that meant. On a cold Sunday afternoon in February of 1976, he walked with his dad through an addition to their church that he had designed. As his dad stared at a jumbled mess of wood structure, Greg asked him what he was looking at, to which his dad replied, “ I have to draw the contractor a picture so he knows how to build it.” Greg connected the sketches and drawings that came out of his head to the built environment. Joining arcDESIGN in 2007, Greg serves as Senior Project Manager with expertise in long-range planning, renovation/historic preservation, and institution design.
Greg’s 13th great grandmother was Pocahontas and his 4th great grandfather fought at the Battle of Tippecanoe and was one of the pioneers of Jackson County, Indiana (1809).

To this day, she still attends open houses, with no intention of buying.
Hayley enjoys refinishing and reupholstering furniture, most recently a mid-century side table and TV stand. She also is very interested in science fiction and spends some of her time watching science and Syfy channels.
