Education: Bachelor of Architecture

University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California

Greg began learning about architecture and senior housing as a youth, spending summers working for his father at Irwin Partners Architects. This experience inspired him to study architecture at USC, where Victor Regnier was the acting Dean. After graduation, Greg returned to IPA to begin his professional career. Over the years, Greg’s responsibilities expanded beyond the design and supervision of senior-housing projects to encompass management responsibility for IPA. All the while, Greg continued to further his education in senior housing by participating in training seminars such as Dr. Thomas’s Eden Alternative Course. His wide-ranging experience and proven leadership led to Greg’s promotion to Partner at IPA in 2000. Today Greg and his partner Melisa Pence work as a team, applying their complementary backgrounds to design award-winning senior-living projects that advance the quality of senior living projects. Greg is a frequent presenter at industry events, where he enjoys sharing what he’s learned from his studies and practice.
