businessman, and patriot. He graduated in 1982 from Columbus High 
School. Gregory received a Bachelor of Science in Communications from

United States Air Force. He also worked as a Civil Service Employee. 
Gregory served as Chief of the United States Air Force Art Program at 
the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Gregory worked in the U.S. State 
Department as a Security Officer for over 15 years. Gregory was the 
owner of Made to Measure, Custom Tailor clothing business and remained 
part-owner and partner with Howard Wallace. He was a dedicated member

testament to his civic engagement, attentiveness, and hard work for 
which our country is forever grateful. Gregory was a valued father and 
friend to those who knew him.
