An experienced real estate investment professional, Eugene Gorab serves as the president and CEO of Greenfield Partners, LLC, in Connecticut. Outside of work, Eugene Gorab maintains a commitment to giving back as the director of Appalachia Service Project (ASP), which mobilizes volunteers around the country to repair homes for low-income families in Central Appalachia. According to officials in Gatlinburg, the 2016 wildfires forced about 14,000 people to evacuate the area and more than 2,500 buildings were damaged or completely demolished. Altogether, the city faced $500 million in damages and 14 lives were lost. Another 134 people incurred injuries. ASP responded to this crisis by helping rebuild some of the many homes that were lost. Through partnerships with 12 other organizations, ASP has been able to provide new homes to several families that were displaced by the fires. In June, the organization dedicated four newly constructed homes to people who lost theirs in 2016. However, work in the community will continue with several more homes planned.
