When it comes to resolving difficult federal and state regulatory issues involving environmental policies, including water rights, Greg has a remarkable record of success. During his service in the Colorado Governor’s Cabinet, he helped negotiate settlement of the largest Western water case in U.S. history, a case that involved more than 380 parties.

Greg also served as Colorado’s lead negotiator with 7 Basin States in negotiating a historic agreement on California’s use of Colorado River water. His team’s success ended 75 years of legal disputes across the seven states.

Greg’s unique experience combines extensive federal and state public service. For five years, he was executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, overseeing a budget of $180 million and state policies on forestry, mining, water and wildlife. He subsequently became president of the Natural Resources Leadership Council of the States, an organization of state environmental cabinet secretaries.

Greg also spent 10 years on Capitol Hill, where he was involved with Congressional policies on natural resources, agriculture, environmental and transportation.
