Greg obtained his National Registered Paramedic Certification in 1998, and in 2001, Greg was promoted to Captain at Station 3, supervising eight staff operating three apparatus. In 2007, Greg was promoted to Battalion Chief and was named the Fire Marshal for the City. In 2010, Greg obtained his Masters Certificate in Local Government Management from Virginia Tech and has since returned to Old Dominion University where he is working toward his Master’s Degree in Public Administration. Having been a Field Battalion Chief for two years, Interim Training Chief, and Interim Deputy Chief, Greg has come up through the ranks and was promoted to Deputy Chief in October of 2015. He was promoted to Fire Chief February 21, 2018.
