Raised in West Portal, Greg attended elementary and high school in San Francisco. He comes from a strong union family with deep roots in San Francisco. His mother is a Shanghai-born Ukrainian refugee and his late father was a 3rd generation San Franciscan who spent 40+ years as a labor leader and activist.

Greg started his career as an elevator apprentice in 2001 then graduated as an elevator mechanic. He has eight years’ experience as a Union Organizer and Labor Chair for our Apprenticeship Program. He is currently the Business Representative/Recording Secretary for IUEC (International Union of Elevator Constructors) Local 8. He has 16 years with San Francisco Building & Construction Trades Council, 15 years on San Francisco Labor Council, and was recently elected as a California Democratic Party delegate in 2023.

As a 21 year card-carrying union member, labor leader, and a lifelong proud Democrat, Greg has knocked countless doors, phone banked for Democrats, organized worksite visits, and recruited members and activists to get out and vote for candidates that will give a voice to all working people and marginalized communities.
