About Gregory
Gregory joined the firm in 2026, bringing a unique blend of legal, public service, and entrepreneurial experience. Throughout his career, he has represented Wyoming counties on public lands matters involving federal land management agencies and co-founded a local whitewater rafting company with his spouse, which they continue to operate today. Raised in rural South Dakota in a family deeply committed to public service, Gregory understands the opportunities and challenges facing Colorado’s rural mountain communities. As both an attorney and small business owner, he is passionate about helping local governments, businesses, and community stakeholders navigate complex issues and achieve practical solutions. In his free time, Gregory enjoys watching his daughter play soccer, spending time on the river, skiing, and stringing up a hammock for a good hang.
