Gregg Goolsby spent 36 years working as a corporate executive in the luxury automotive business primarily with Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.  His experience spanned a number of different disciplines ranging from product planning, dealer network development, and various positions in corporate sales and marketing. Gregg also taught Marketing Strategy to MBA students at both Fordham and Seattle University for many years. He retired from Corporate America in 2018 and decided to change his mission in life. He enrolled and graduated from the New York Institute of Photography where he learned all the fundamentals to compliment his years of experience.

Gregg developed a passion for the outdoors when he joined scouting at a young age and became one of the youngest Eagle Scouts at the age of 13. He combined his love of the outdoors with photography when he was a college student back in 1976.  He bought a Pentax K1000 35mm camera and came to love capturing images of mountains and wildlife while spending his summers working in Glacier National Park in Montana. Glacier Park provided a spectacular backdrop and allowed Gregg to refine his skills and using a fully manual camera he learned a great deal about proper lighting and exposure. He continued to enjoy photography as a hobby during his years working in corporate positions that provided opportunities to live in a number of locations and travel the world. 

Gregg’s goal for the future is to grow OSP into a force for good that will help others learn how to be a better photographer, and also gain a deeper appreciation for our natural world. He teaches photography classes online and through field workshops held in beautiful locations. He also teaches a variety of courses at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita Oregon.  Additionally he applies his year of business and board level experience by serving on the Board of Directors at the Hoffman Center and also as Treasurer on the Board of Trustees for USA Triathlon.
