It was a tough start so I was amazed when LSI asked me back!&#8221;So impressed was the school director that Greg was promoted to assistant school director in 2006 and finally took over the helm at Hampstead in January 2010. &#8220;I have loved my time at Hampstead and have met some wonderful people. I&#8217;m going to miss all my colleagues at Hampstead a lot but I am happy to be moving back to the US where I&#8217;ll be closer to my family.&#8221;What will Greg miss most about the UK (apart from all his many friends)? &#8220;Cricket and Arsenal football club!&#8221; It seems some English cultural pursuits will always have a place in his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Now a new chapter is just beginning for Greg in Berkeley. &#8220;I am loving being here already. The staff here are so friendly and welcoming and are really helping me to settle into the job. It&#8217;s great to be able to walk around in T-shirts and soak up the sun \u2013 there wasn&#8217;t much opportunity to do that in the UK!&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>From everyone at LSI London Hampstead we wish you well at LSI Berkeley.
