Greg is an experienced real estate investor, originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma. After graduating with his Bachelors of Business Administration from the University of Oklahoma, he served a distinguished career as a combat engineer officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2015 and earning an MBA along the way. Greg’s military career focused heavily on project management, construction planning, leadership, and decision making in crisis environments, and included multiple deployments, including Iraq and Afghanistan.

Greg began investing in single family homes in 2006, but didn’t find them scalable. His “aha!” moment was learning about the power of syndications and the scalability of multifamily real estate (i.e., apartments). While preparing to retire from active duty in 2015, he joined Brad Sumrok’s Apartment Investor Mastery program, a leading national multifamily educational and mentoring program. This gave him the education and network to begin investing passively in multifamily real estate syndications, and then to sponsor them, to create financial and time freedom for him and his family.

Greg is constantly striving to learn more about the world of commercial real estate syndications and asset management from mentors and peers. He is a co-organizer of the National Apartment Investors Community (NAiC) San Diego Meetup group so he can share his passion and help others get their start too. Greg and his family live just North of San Diego, California, and his adult daughter, Kasey, lives in Southeastern Wisconsin. He enjoys running, hiking, the beach, skydiving, motorcycle riding, and hanging out with his wife and dogs.

Kristina (Tina) Butcher is originally from Torrance, California. After living in and traveling to different parts of North America after high school, she settled in the San Francisco Bay area to work and raise her daughters. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the California State University at Hayward in 2004 while working full time and being a single parent. Both before and after that, her primary career has been in accounting and bookkeeping for small to medium sized businesses. She also owned and operated her own catering company for a time. In 2016, once her daughters graduated high school, she followed her desire to get “back to the beach” and moved back to Southern California. Less than a year later, she met Greg.

Greg had already begun sponsoring multifamily real estate syndications when they became a couple. Tina quickly recognized the opportunity it offered not only to them, but – as a former single working mother – to a variety of people concerned with growing their wealth and planning for retirement while handling life’s challenges. Therefore, in 2017 she joined Greg in Brad Sumrok’s Apartment Investor Mastery program and began working with Greg, helping with asset management, underwriting, and financials. She also helps operate the Apartment Investor Mastery – San Diego County and Multifamily Investor Nation – San Diego Meetup groups to network and share knowledge with others. Tina’s adult daughters, Madison and Monique, live near San Diego and the Bay area, respectively. In addition to real estate, her passions include cooking, party planning, family, her dogs, and the beach.
