Greg enjoys working with clients, institutions and companies to build portfolios and retirement plans and has done so since 1986. In 2016, he formed the Nicollet Investment Group with Darla and Mike. Prior to that, in 2006, he and Mike formed the Johnson Karels Group. Before teaming up with Mike, Greg spent 16 years in institutional sales—mostly with Piper Jaffray as managing director, where he worked with analysts, portfolio managers and both public and private company managements. Greg attended the University of Minnesota and passed the Series 7, 63 and 66 exams.

When not working with clients, Greg and his wife, Deb, enjoy traveling and gardening around their home in Richfield, Minnesota, where they moved after raising their three daughters in Rosemount. Greg enjoys the outdoors—golfing, hiking, biking, tinkering in his shop or playing cribbage on the patio. He and Deb are active in their community and with several local charities. They cherish family moments, time with good friends, and look forward to traveling a little more in the future
