Bio
Patrick deFur
I have known Greg for a number of years and value his friendship a great deal. Greg is very dedicated to everything that he commits to. He makes the effort to understand situations and people so he can make the best decisions possible. We play ice hockey together and he is the captain of one of the teams I play on. He leads the team well and is highly respected by everyone in the Richmond hockey community. Greg is a great friend and leader. I would be happy to answer any questions I can that anyone might have about him. Patrick deFur

Greg was in a very technical position and had to think on his feet to succeed. Greg presents himself well in front of above the line as well as below the line management. Greg has a team mentality and assimilates into any team easily. Greg is easy to talk to and easy to manage. Greg will be successful wherever he lands.
