Personal tragedy did not derail Gregory – on the contrary, it has only served to strengthen him. An Eagle Scout with two palms, he believes that, “Disaster does not disable true leaders,” and that “Leadership is a choice.” In addition to his superior academic achievements, Gregory has gone on mission trips, participates in an award-winning puppetry ministry for his church, is captain of his Track and Field team, is an Auditorium Technician where he serves as Assistant Manager and plays in the Greencastle-Antrim Concert Band. He was selected by his high school Administration and Counselors to be a Peer Leader for 3 years. Gregory pursued advanced education by taking “Early to College” courses and worked 35 hours per week to pay for them.
