Greg was an artist, woodworker, and owner of BarnBeautiful, a handcrafted gift store in Stockbridge, Georgia. He reclaimed old barns to repurpose the materials into beautiful furnishings, furniture, and works of art. BarnBeautiful takes pictures and records the history of each barn and numbers each finished piece so it can be traced back to its origin. BarnBeautiful also has a gallery featuring the handcrafted work of over 20 talented local artists and artisans. Greg was a founding member of the Henry County Arts Consortium and former board member of the City of Stockbridge Main Street Advisory Board. Greg graduated with an Engineering degree from Southern Tech College in Georgia. He began his career in apparel manufacturing including overseas work alongside his father at Oxford Industries before starting BarnBeautiful in 2009.
