Eugene Gorab, an MBA graduate from the University of Chicago in Illinois, is the president and chief executive officer at Greenfield Partners, LLC in South Walk, Connecticut. He oversees the daily operations of the private equity real estate firm and continually seeks to build a strong team dedicated to excelling in real estate management. Alongside work, Eugene Gorab loves volunteering and giving back to the community and served as the Appalachia Service Project (ASP) director.
The central Appalachia region relied on mining, agriculture, and forestry for sustenance. However, diminishing returns and regulations of some of these industries gravely impacted the region, making it one of the most impoverished areas in the United States, especially during the 1960s, when the poverty rate was 31 percent. An area significantly affected was the availability of safe, affordable, and hygienic housing. Through more than 15,000 thousand volunteers, ASP, a Christian ministry, works to repair and replace substandard homes for more than 350 rural central Appalachia low-income families with the primary mission of providing warm, safe, and clean living spaces. The restoration sessions occur twice a year. The first session serves 20 to 30 communities in the central Appalachia region from June to August, where ASP leases accommodation and summer centers for the volunteers in the local schools and churches. From September to May, the second critical repair session operates from more permanent locations in southwest Virginia and northeast Tennessee.
