Background & Experience

With over 30 years of hands-on experience in both commercial and residential construction, Greg Birdsong brings a rare combination of design insight, field expertise, and leadership to every project.

Greg began his career in 1996 as a student in the University of Florida’s College of Architecture, where he quickly distinguished himself as a student leader — serving two years as President of the College of Architecture and as Vice President of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS). He also held an Executive-at-Large role on the University’s Board of College Councils.

In 1999, Greg made the strategic decision to shift his focus to Construction Management and transferred to the University of North Florida, where he earned his degree in Building Construction Management.
