Recently listed by the Houston Business Journal as one of its “40 Under 40”, Greg consistently gives back to his community, profession, and others. His leadership outside of the office is valuable to any firm and helps set an example to others on the value of community involvement and networking.
“Overcoming the odds is nothing new to Gregory Griffin…Griffin completed his first half-marathon in 2015 — despite having been diagnosed with a muscular disease when he was almost two years old.”, Houston Business Journal, June 2019
Greg attended school at Baylor University and the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago. While at the Illinois Institute of Art, he was a founding member of his school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, P.R.O.U.D. (People Respecting Other’s Unique Differences).
During his almost twenty-year career in the legal profession, he served as the Chair of the Houston City Group for the Legal Marketing Association in 2017 and then began a two-year term as a Director for the Southwest Region Board of Directors of LMA. In 2017 he was named “Rising Star” by the League of Women Voters. As a board member of Pride Houston, a key objective was to grow community awareness to include representation for every member of the LGBTQIA+ family in a year that celebrated the 50th anniversary of the historic riots that took place at the Stonewall Inn in 1969.
Greg recently completed his term as the first male president of the Houston Bar Association Auxiliary. By doing so, he was an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors of the Houston Bar Association. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for Kiwanis Club of Houston, whose key objective is to serve the community through service projects fostering these ideas starting with high school students through their high school level, Key Club. While in high school, he served as Lieutenant Governor of Division 23 of the Texas-Oklahoma District of Key Club. He also served on the Marketing Communications to the Board of Legacy Community Health.
Being born with a rare muscle disorder, Greg decided to overcome the stigma and excuses he had lived with all of his life. He slowly started running in 2014, completing his first 5K, and then went on to complete the Aramco Houston Half Marathon in 2015 and 2017. There’s also a story about how Greg threw the blow dryer into his brother’s bathtub, and his dad thinks the electrocution helped Greg’s treatment.
