Hi, I'm Greg Nance

Recognized by President Obama as a "Champion of Change" at the White House in 2012, Moneythink brings transparency to college costs so that all students are equipped to invest in their futures.

Since 2008 we've equipped over 33,000 students with financial life skills. Nearly 90% of the students we've coached have enrolled in college with a sustainable financial plan.

You can learn more about how we're leveraging technology to boost college access in this Stanford Social Innovation Review article.  

Our work is supported by generous grassroots donors and organizations like Google, Prudential, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

At Dyad we connect students with mentors for life-changing admissions and career advice. Our 200+ mentors helped students earn over $27M in scholarships ($27,157,029 but who's counting :-). Over 1 million students worldwide have used our free articles and videos to guide their university journey.

You can learn more about our mission and model in interviews with Cambridge University, Huffington Post, and the World Economic Forum Agenda.

Hood Canal Coordnating Council is our region's Lead Entity on salmon recovery. Nominated by Commissioner Rob Gelder, I proudly represent Kitsap on the Citizens Advisory Group.

We've visited numerous proposed project sites across the Hood Canal ecosystem to evaluate prospective ROI. In partnership with Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, we are working to secure $680,000 in preliminary funding for Port Gamble Bay nearshore restoration which will provide vital estuarial habitat for Hood Canal summer chum and threatened Puget Sound chinook.

The KMHS team of 470 employees annually serves over 8,000 children, families, and adults across Kitsap County to deliver on our “Hope Lives Here” mental health mission. We partner with social service and housing providers, schools, law enforcement, jail services and the courts, to provide a full range of behavioral health services and comprehensive care.

As a Board Member, I am eager to contribute to the expansion of youth mental health programming and partnerships to better serve Kitsap students and young people.

I was only able to attend my dream schools, UChicago and Cambridge, with the help of scholarships. I'm on a mission to pay it forward by partnering with orgs doing great work:

• The Harry S Truman Scholarship is the Presidential Memorial to Public Service. I was Washington State's 2010 recipient and I served on the Board of Directors of the Truman Scholars Association from 2016-2021.

• The Gates Cambridge Scholarship was established by Bill & Melinda Gates as a global network of emerging leaders dedicated to tackling worldwide challenges. I was a 2011 recipient and served on the Gates Cambridge Alumni Association Board from 2019-2021.

• Rhodes Scholarships were first awarded to Chinese students in 2015. I was honored to serve on the Pre-Selection Committee in 2015 and 2016.

• MakerGirl has inspired over 6,500 girls with STEM mentorship. Since 2018 I've served on the Board and am excited to support future leaders in science and technology!

I believe American leadership is vital to preserving peace and prosperity in the 21st century. As a Truman Scholar at UChicago, I authored the first white paper to use a geopolitical defensive realist framework to explain the East Asian naval arms race and how the U.S. must enlist democratic maritime allies to ensure regional stability.

Since 2014 I have served on the Advisory Board of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats. CPOST is a U.S. Department of Defense-funded research center that provides data-driven insights to policymakers, scholars, and the public.

My writing has been featured in the Seattle Times and I've shared insights on Sino-American relations with London's NBC News and Beijing's China Global TV (watch here).
