Five years ago, Greg pulled into Sunrise. Today, he's one of the lead monitors in our wood shop, and if you ask him what makes life here different, he'll give you the same answer every time: you can't walk a single block without stopping to talk to someone.
That kind of connection doesn't just happen. People like Greg build it.
When Greg got involved in the wood shop, he didn't just join, he helped move it forward. He led the charge on building out the golf cart parking alongside other members. He's had a hand in shaping the space itself. He helps lead the fundraisers that keep the shop running, working right beside the other monitors and members to make it all happen. And he teaches classes too, showing members how to make projects like pizza cutters and passing on the skills that make this shop what it is. On his own time, you'll find him crafting detailed pieces like heart-shaped jewelry boxes, the kind of work that shows just how much heart he puts into his craft.
Between 30 and 50 members pass through the wood shop each year, and Greg has become a steady hand behind so much of what they get to experience. The shop wouldn't be what it is today without him, and the people who spend their mornings there will be the first to tell you that.
Five years in, and Greg is still showing up, still building, still teaching. That's Sunrise. That's what neighbors look like here.
