A career spanning academia, digital strategy, real estate, and technology innovation.
Gregory began his career in higher education. Educated in Europe, he taught university in Ireland for several years before returning to the United States, where he continued his work as a professor and researcher.
He later transitioned into corporate marketing and spent 15 years in leadership roles focused on digital strategy and communications. Over time, a desire to work directly with people and to invest more deeply in his local community drew him into real estate.
Today, Gregory works in real estate sales, serves as a state-certified real estate licensing instructor, and contributes thought leadership on the emerging role of AI in real estate. He also continues his academic work as an independent scholar and writer, focusing on the intersection of culture, religion, and ethics.
Originally from New York City, he now calls Grand Rapids home.
