OFA Interview with Gregory Stock, AIA
We’ve decided this month to write a brief biography to say thank you to Greg Stock who will be moving from Orlando to Ft. Lauderdale in the near future. For many years, Greg has been a consistent participant in AIA events with four years as treasurer and is a founding member of the Orlando Foundation for Architecture with ten years on their board. If you don’t know him, you have no doubt seen him generously navigating himself into the AIA and OFA’s sometimes crowded events.
