In October 2009, Greg was elected a two-year term as the Co-op’s designated employee director. He is also a full-time employee at Seward. Greg’s scholarly accomplishments include earning his B.A. in English literature from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2007. After graduating, he found himself wondering what to do next. Following a couple of dead-end jobs and a stint of unemployment, Greg was hired at Seward Co-op in November 2008, and he hasn’t looked back since.

Greg acknowledges that the move to a new store was a great accomplishment for everyone involved, and the successes have the board looking to the possibilities of the future. As an employee and member of the board, Greg vows he will do his best in both of his roles at Seward co-op.
