Greg Crisanti
Greg was born in St. John's Newfoundland and moved to Brandon at a young age. Since then, Brandon has remained his permanent residence and he couldn't imagine living anywhere else. Greg graduated from Brandon University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, where he majored in Business Administration with hopes of one day owning his own business. This became a reality as today he can be found serving up "Double, Doubles" as a proud franchisee with Tim Hortons. He's happily married to his wife Carrie and has two young Children Jett and Emberley at home!
Greg has a strong sense of community involvement. He acted as the City of Brandon Youth Council member during High School, served on the Board of Directors for Brandon's United Way, Advisory Board Committee with Westman Dreams for Kids, two terms with the Board of the Brandon Chamber of Commerce and currently is on the Board of Directors for Brandon Crime Stoppers and the Vice President of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba! Greg believes in the importance of getting involved and showing you are committed to your community.
