Greg Schmitz

Co-owner of a market research firm

Appointed: 2017


Why I Serve?
“When my family moved to Steamboat full time in 2016, my wife and I were looking for an environment that would encourage our girls to seek out learning opportunities, challenge them to grow as people and help them thrive well beyond their school years.  SMS provided all these benefits through its commitment to music, focus on experiential learning and regard for empathy when engaging in the world around us.  The school, teachers and community provided a wonderful foundation to help our kids explore while also helping them develop a strong sense of purpose.  While my family has since moved on to new adventures outside of Steamboat, I truly appreciate the role the school has played in our lives and am committed to its long-term success.”
