Greg Georgianni
Executive Director

Greg is the Executive Director of the Real Life Center. He has used his 30+ years of experience in human resources, facilities and administration in the corporate arena as his primary ministry, while serving at various non-profits and faith-based organizations during his career. He started volunteering with the Real Life Center in 2019, then served as our Educational and Career Coach, and has now transitioned fully to serve Christ by helping families who utilize our services.

Greg has a passion for helping individuals and families flourish in the marketplace and in their own personal and spiritual development. Seeing how God can walk along with us during our pain and suffering has been central to his core beliefs.

In God’s unique way, he is now serving in full-time ministry with us at the Real Life Center.

Greg holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Applied and Industrial Psychology. He also serves on the ministry team at Dogwood Church. Greg and his wife relocated to Georgia in 2018. His wife also serves those in need as a healthcare professional.
