If you meet Greg in the hallway instead of in a meeting, there’s a good chance you’ll spot an IPod attached to his belt and its headphones draped around his neck. The player is an apt symbol for two of Greg’s abiding interests: music (all kinds, though there’s always at least one Springsteen disc in the car CD changer and several Boss gigabytes on the IPOD) and technology.
His bent toward gizmology has led his colleagues to dub him as the firm’s “Alpha Geek” — a title he readily accepts. That interest also led Greg, a journalist with a distinguished career in senior editorial positions at the Nashville Banner and Nashville Business Journal, to ensure that ours was among the first public relations firms in Nashville to use e-mail regularly and have its own Web site, and generally staking out the newest frontier of technology. It also enables Greg to indulge his other passions, football, basketball and wine by reading sports pages and wine reviews from across the country from the convenience of his computer. Even as he embraces the newest and latest, however, Greg remains unabashedly old-school about one thing. He administers a writing test to everyone who seeks to work at KVBPR. Regardless of the medium, he says, good writing is fundamental.
