Gregory's Story
I lived in New York my sophomore year of high school. My mother was an exchange teacher with another teacher in New York. I attended Hauppauge High School on Long Island and had a great time once I made some friends after being in "Sound of Music". Back in Seattle at Ingraham, I was involved in band, stage band, choir, and soccer. I ended up playing soccer for 27 years and am a Seattle Sounders season ticket holder.
I worked in technology for 41 years. After attending electronics school, I worked at Hewlett-Packard in Lake Stevens for 20 years where we designed and manufactured spectrum analyzers. I then morphed my career into IT working as a software developer and in application support. I worked at Snohomish County government for 8 years and then finished my career with 12 years at Puget Sound Energy in Bellevue. I felt that keeping the lights on and the homes warm for 2 million customers in the Puget Sound region was a noble calling for the greater good. My professional profile is on LinkedIn. I lived in Snohomish for 20 years. Since I worked in IT, I could sit anywhere and worked from my cabin on Hood Canal for 3 years during Covid. I retired in October 2022 and now live full time at my cabin, staying with my sister in Seattle when I have appointments,...Expand for more

I am an Eagle Scout and spent 12 years as an adult scout leader for my son and his buddies leading many backpacking and canoe trips. Of the 8 little boys that started with me as their leader in 1st grade, I ended up with 5 Eagle scouts, including my son.
I have been involved in music my entire life. I sang with Seattle Opera Chorus for 6 seasons in my college days and have done lots of community theater musicals. I sang with Choir of the Sound for many years and also with Choral Sounds Northwest. Since I have retired out to my cabin on Hood Canal, I am now singing with the Bainbridge Chorale.
I have three children, all honor students. My son graduated from UW with a degree in chemistry. He manages the lab at a test engineering company in Lynnwood. My middle child graduated from Western with a degree in Communications and Speech Disorders who then went into the medical field and is now a lead bone marrow tech at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research in Seattle, helping people in their time of need. My youngest daughter graduated Summa Cum Laude from Arizona State with a degree in Environmental Science. She is now a staff chemist and data manager at an environmental consulting company in Seattle. I am a proud papa. -February 2024
