Leadership

Greg Jergens

Greg brings more than 25 years of experience in education, leadership, coaching, and community engagement. Most recently, he served as an elementary principal with the Mid-Prairie Community School District, where he was dedicated to creating strong, supportive learning environments in partnership with students, families, and staff.

Greg’s deep commitment to helping others thrive aligns perfectly with Tanager’s mission. He is eager to contribute to the life-changing work happening across our programs and to strengthen connections with our community of supporters.

Outside of work, Greg enjoys spending time with his family—his wife, Lindsey; their two adult daughters, Paige and Cecilia; and two high schoolers, Nolan and Jersey. He’s also a big fan of sports, fishing, and taking walks with his wife, and can often be found cheering on his kids in their many activities.

We’re here to help.
