As a Quaker, Gregory engages simplicity as a spiritual commitment.

Simplicity means focusing on what is truly important and letting other things fall away.

It’s about clearing space, time, and attention to concentrate on relationships, love, purpose, and meaning.

Along with simplicity, minimalism is a lifestyle commitment that encourages people to intentionally live with fewer possessions, less complex routines, and at a slower pace.

Life is complicated enough without adding items, commitments, activities, and relationships that don’t bring joy or lasting meaning.

Gregory integrates his commitment to simplicity into his real estate activities. He is a certified Simple Lifestyle Mentor and Minimalist Coach.
