Catching up with Salisbury graduate Greg Reese What is your full name? Gregory Reese When did you graduate from Salisbury? 2002 Tell us about your life since high school. Life has been exciting. I went to Pennsylvania State University Lehigh Valley for two years, and after that University Park for my remaining two years, where I graduated in 2006 with a degree in Information Sciences and Technology. I started with a job at a local architecture firm in State College, but after a year moved home, where I worked for Computer Aid for 8 years, a local IT consultancy company, with my primary client being PPL. After that I took a job at a local company which was acquired, and now work as a Google Cloud Certified Architect and Data Engineer at GFT USA, where I get to work with Google on a daily basis. Personally I have gotten into the world of craft beer, and started to work locally in my free time at a local brewery. I also enjoy traveling the world: I have been to Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Ireland, the Caribbean, Hong Kong and Thailand, and have been to over half of the states. What are you most proud of personally and/or professionally? I recently proposed to my girlfriend of 8 years, Jacquelyn, and we couldn’t be happier! Best thing is I got the entire proposal on video, so we can watch it for years to come. How has the pandemic impacted you and what have you learned from it? I worked from home before the pandemic hit, so I was lucky that I was not impacted from a career perspective; however, I have learned how to be able to appreciate “stopping and smelling the roses”, in that life doesn’t always need to be a constant social exercise. Sometimes it is nice to just sit at home and watch Netflix. Also I was affected personally with COVID that I got from one random encounter, so it shows how serious that this disease is. What was your favorite high school memory? I was in the band ever since I was in 4th grade, and probably placing 13th at ACCs with the marching band, and overall all the memories we made. How is your family doing? My father is a travel agent, so he has seen an extreme reduction in his job as a result of COVID, but business is starting to recover. My mother is the same she’s always been, except maybe getting a little stir crazy! If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would you choose and why? I’ve actually never thought of this. In addition to band, I also played baseball for the Salisbury Youth Association for many years. Mike Schmidt was my favorite player growing up, so I’d probably say him. Who is your role model and why? I have friends who are nurses who have had daily exposure to COVID and its effects. My role models are the first responders, nurses, and doctors that have to deal with this disease every day and still come back to work the next day. They are true heroes. #yoursalisbury

Look who earned a Falcon Proud slip this week! Mrs. Liggitt earned one for using habits #1-6 with her math group and Noah A. earned one for using habits #1-6 in the classroom. Thank you both for being great leaders.

SES first graders learned about a great leader this week, Martin Luther King, Jr. They completed a directed drawing activity and wrote about what they learned. Enjoy!
