Behind the Scenes with "G" Martini!

One of GPYC’s hidden gems is our HR Director Gregory Martini. He has more than eight years of Human Resources experience; this is his first year with the Club. Greg’s father has been a notable influence on him as he built his career in the same field. He encouraged him to follow in his footsteps, and Greg is happy he did. As someone fiercely driven by connecting, supporting, and empowering the people around him, Greg feels incredibly grateful to do what he does. Greg was born and raised in Royal Oak and has one older brother, A Martini (as in, “I would like a martini”), who resides in Queens, NYC. The most influential person in his life has been his grandmother. She has taught him to be authentically, unapologetically himself in everything he does.

In Greg’s free time, he enjoys theater and says, “I am a huge theatre nerd!” He has sat on a half-dozen Board of Directors for community and professional theaters, including the Community Theatre Association of Michigan. He also loves writing, producing, and recording music. Greg has put in his “ten thousand hours” as a sound engineer and loves working with artists across all genres of music in his free time. However, Greg says he does not have a favorite type of music. Instead, he lives by the mantra that there is a song for every mood. His favorite type of books are selfimprovement and self-help books. Greg says he feels a deeper understanding of his own psychology and the way we as humans operate and interact, which leads him to be more impactful in his personal and professional life.

Greg is grateful to be part of GPYC, and we are thankful to have him! He enjoys every moment at the Club and intends to build a long and lasting career at the Club. We are so lucky to have him!
