Greg joined GSSI in 2016 as a Technical Trainer. He has a background in Graphic Design and acquired his a BFA in Illustration from the University of Hartford. He continues to satisfy his artistic “itch” by doing oil paint portraits of famous pop culture icons and people’s furry pets in his free time. Since joining, Greg has assisted in the redesign and evolution of GSSI’s revamped logo and website. He enjoys traveling, sampling the indigenous foods of the destinations he visits and getting to know GSSI’s trainees on his road trips across the US.

Peter joined GSSI in 2016 as the archaeology and forensics application specialist, as well as a member of the training and technical support team. He is a member of the Register of Professional Archaeologists and specializes in terrestrial geophysical methods applied to archaeology, geographic information systems [GIS] analyses, and submerged prehistoric archaeology. Peter brings a wide range of ground-penetrating radar experience to the GSSI training team. He has conducted GPR surveys on four continents as a specialist for academic research teams, and in the US and Canada has carried out over seventy terrestrial geophysical surveys on archaeological sites and cemeteries. Prior to joining GSSI he worked as a professional archaeologist in New England and the Mid Atlantic, where he honed his GPR skills “in the trenches”. Peter is also a doctoral student at the University of Connecticut, with dissertation research focused on prehistoric archaeological sites submerged by sea-level rise. When not at GSSI Peter spends most of his time reorganizing the feline residents off his computer keyboard, and using his dog as a less-than-ideal footrest.

Lauren joined GSSI in 2021 as a Technical Trainer. She was introduced to GPR and GSSI equipment while working toward her M.A. in Anthropology with an Archaeology concentration in 2014 at the University of Denver. Since then, Lauren has conducted numerous GPR surveys in Ireland, Australia, and across the SE & SW U.S. Outside of GPR, Lauren has worked in craft beer marketing and sales, nonprofit administration, project management, and partner operations. She is happy to be back working with GPR full time with the great group of folks at GSSI. Lauren and her black cat the Boy Named Sue have gotten really good at moving around the country, but most recently have settled in New Hampshire.
