Greg and his wife, Laura, and their two sons, Max and Gideon, will be joining the Westminster community after the July 4th holiday. Greg says he looks forward to returning to Connecticut where grew up and still has family. He also looks forward to returning to a coeducational environment with a full residential community.

“We were very pleased by the strength and depth of the pool of candidates for this position and feel very good that this national search has ended so well for Westminster with a man with experience in both the college and independent boarding school realms,” said Headmaster Graham Cole.
