Greg Buck, Enrollment Manager
[email protected]
Born in Hawaii to an Army family Greg was a world traveler by the age of five. After preschool in Germany their family moved through the southeastern United States of Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Greg went on to Rhode Island pursuing a culinary arts education, followed by a twenty year hospitality career culminating as general manager of an historic downtown Seattle restaurant. Switching gears, Greg returned to school at The Evergreen State College to study art history and aesthetics. Studies continued at the University of Washington Bothell where Greg acquired their Master of Fine Art in Interdisciplinary Poetry. As often happens for a cook, Greg finds themselves very happy in the kitchen, yet, as a poet, they are elated when surrounded by fine words and even more refined thoughts. The Waldorf methodology with its integration of handwork, heartfelt kindness, and active mindfulness feels like the ideal intersection for Greg’s interests, and they are so glad to find themselves here.
