Co-Founder / CEO

From a young boy, Gregory Gray Sr. felt uniquely groomed to become an entrepreneur. In his Father’s lifetime, he had several successful businesses. This proved a shining example for Greg, though it was his passion for basketball that further taught him to be driven, a leader and a team player. All of which are key for leading and growing any business.

The discipline that basketball provided helped him navigate High School, soon paving the way for Greg to attend college. There, he earned his Bachelor’s of Science degree in Computer Science at Stockton University. Once he graduated, Greg decided to try his hand at finally becoming an entrepreneur in his own right. Along with several of his friends, he created a music company. Unfortunately, the company disbanded due to creative differences and other mounting life challenges. So, later in 2004, Greg decided to venture into ‘Corporate America’ and opted for a wireless engineering position with AT&T.

During his 18 years at AT&T, Greg was able to apply the valuable entrepreneurial lessons taught by his father and the great leadership qualities he adopted playing basketball, and took a keen interest in gaining further insights into running a Fortune 500 company. It was during this tenure that Greg decided to transition to the cannabis industry.

“I have been studying the industry for years. Once New York decided to make it legal and open the cannabis industry to recreational-based business, I decided it would be a great time to take advantage of the opportunities it has to offer. Just like the telecommunications industry, I seek to position Gotham buds as innovative, and providing industry-leading premium products and cultural movement.”

Greg continues to serve his community and hone his leadership skills through service, and is passionate about building wealth of knowledge and leadership in other young minds by volunteering to coach basketball for the Milbank Basketball Team and the Abyssinian Baptist Church team.
