Aaron Cole Gregg

I primarily work on matters before the Texas Legislature and executive agencies. These matters can range from monitoring legislation and regulatory decisions that affect clients, to drafting bills and amendments, to creating a strategic plan for the passage of a specific piece of legislation. I also work a number of appropriations issues and frequently counsel clients on specific budget items and the budget process.

The ability to build and maintain relationships, along with strong communication skills, are key aspects to effective advocacy, and I enjoy sharpening and sharing those skills as an adjunct professor teaching Negotiation at The University of Texas Law. 

Having spent time in the Texas capitol working for a wide range of bipartisan members from different backgrounds and areas of the state has greatly enhanced my ability to learn the ways of the capitol world from multiple vantage points. My time as chief of staff to former House Appropriations Chairman Jim Pitts was incredibly valuable and allowed me to learn how the state budget is crafted. I appreciate and value my time as general manager and co-owner of a chain of retail stores, where I gained experience managing employees, operations, budgets, suppliers, customers, and everything in between. That experience gives me a unique insight into business operations that is often unique for many people who work within the Texas capitol. Additionally, the experience of growing up with two educators for parents has motivated me to stay involved in the public education policy space and to be mindful of the interaction between education, workforce development, and economic prosperity

I am passionate about giving back to the community in which I live in work, and volunteer regularly for the Alzheimer's Association, as well as the Texas Association of the Deaf.
