Greg Duriez
Greg Duriez has 20 years of experience in the homebuilding industry, and has been an executive for Fortune 500 national homebuilders. While the Southeast Area President for Pulte Homes in Atlanta in 2004, Greg was seeking out an avenue for Pulte Homes, its employees and himself to give back to the community in a charitable manner with both service hours and raising funds for deserving causes. Greg shared this vision with his new neighbor and friend Shari Donatell, the wife of former Falcons defensive coordinator Ed Donatell. Sherri introduced Greg to Shannon and Jim Mora – and the friendship and vision grew as the groups teamed up to create and host the first Jim Mora Celebrity Golf Classic with Pulte Homes as the title sponsor and its employees as the function volunteers. Greg, Pulte Homes and the Moras teamed up for several other golf classics and events to raise funds and awareness for the charities and causes held dear by the Foundation.
Greg continues to live and work in the Atlanta area as a consultant and investor in the homebuilding industry. Greg is married to Christy and lives in Flowery Branch, Georgia, and has 4 children and 3 step children.
