Profile: Greg Wiberley (Candidate for Farragut Alderman, Ward 2)

My name is Greg Wiberley, and I am running for South Ward alderman in the Town of Farragut. I am seeking the seat formally held by the late David White.

My campaign is based on three general themes: Caring, Community, and Competence.

Caring: I have lived in Farragut since before it was even incorporated. My wife and I have raised five kids here, all going through the Farragut schools. I single-handedly built our one and only house here. I delivered our middle son in that house. We have great neighbors, some of whom have been with us for decades. Our roots are deep and strong and our love for Farragut is steadfast.

Community: The founders of our town envisioned our town to be a place where families could thrive and be a part of something special. I have been a volunteer in the Farragut schools. I have coached CBFO basketball, AYSO soccer, Farragut baseball, and FBC intramural basketball. My wife and I were youth directors at VCPC for many years, and I helped build two youth cabins at Camp Chilhowee.

So I think that I've lived the life in Farragut that defines what it means to be a part of and contribute to the community. Community is not a campaign slogan for me but it has been a way of life.

And finally Competence: I graduated from both high school and college at the top of my classes. I earned the highest level of contractor's license in Tennessee through testing and qualifications which allows for industrial, commercial, and residential projects. I was a part of the leadership teams that built the Biomass Steam Plant at ORNL and developed the first phase of Northshore Town Center. I was the project manager over high-end residential at Tennessee National and have designed and built hundreds of other projects. I was a first responder to the tornado damage in Chattanooga a few years back and have been involved in many other catastrophic events.

So for decades now I have answered the call when Farragut needed me, whether in the schools, in sports, in church, or simply as a neighbor. And that is why I am running for alderman this year: the need is now for me to step forward, and I feel that I can provide the experienced leadership that is required at this pivotal moment.

I would appreciate your support.
