Greg's journey with EMI Canada is a testament to unwavering passion for God and for design.

His missions story began long before joining EMI, with his first mission experience working as a Mission Builder with YWAM during his undergraduate studies in 1986. Upon completing graduate school in architecture in 1991, Greg made the intentional decision to spend ten years in private practice, honing his professional skills before once again pursuing his call to mission.

In 2001, the moment came when God called Greg to EMI. He volunteered on his first EMI project trip joining a team travelling to Belize, to serve with New Life Ministries for the development of a high school master plan.

In 2002, Greg and his family attended an EMI conference which led to Greg volunteering on two additional projects, one of which he was accompanied by his wife Julie. Their commitment to EMI's mission led to a life changing decision in 2005. In response to God’s call, both Greg and Julie resigned from their jobs in Vancouver, BC, and moved their family to Calgary, AB, where Greg joined EMI Canada as the second full-time staff member. Today, he serves as EMI Canada's Executive Director.

Greg's devotion to EMI Canada is evident in everything he does. Looking around his office at the memorabilia collected over 20 years of project trips, it’s plain to see the depth of his commitment to EMI's mission to develop people, design structures, and construct facilities which serve communities and the Church.

His leadership has been transformative at EMI Canada. Greg has developed the domestic projects program offering, led the switch to a central funding model and continues to grow and expand EMI Canada's reach.

Greg’s passion for EMI and ministry is contagious. The excitement in his voice when he speaks about the organization is unmistakable. He is supportive, encouraging, and a good leader who is open to new ideas and always willing to help fellow staff members.
