Greg Grunberg’s story is a study in self‑determination.

From Amherst College onward, he’s developed what I call a quiet rebel streak that I admire. He possesses an instinct to question rules and identify paths that might not be apparent to most of us.

Greg talks about discovering academic and personal freedom at Amherst, rejecting academic and career options he could have pursued but that didn’t feel right, and building an unconventional career defined by a willingness to change course when the moment demands it.

He also shares how his family history and Jewish faith shape the way he moves through the world, grounding him, guiding him, and giving his children a sense of connection to a past defined by overcoming persecution and not just surviving, but thriving.
