"If I can be good about business, & I can do my business well—but then also care about my people & have that noticed in the marketplace—that’s way more important to me." – Greg Lafferty
At 27, Greg seemingly had it all: the pedigree, the projects, the prestige of a big job at NASA.
But what he really wanted was a life of impact. So, he retired (yes, at 27!) from the confines of government & began a decades-long journey of entrepreneurship rooted in faith, grit, & people-first leadership.
Years later, that same spirit would draw Christina Wright to him.
A few referrals & persistent follow-ups later, she landed a meeting with Greg—who was launching a company with no name, no business plan… & no investor relations lead.
She jumped in anyway.
Today, this mission-minded duo is building Branch Wealth Partners—an education-driven real estate firm helping people build real wealth with wisdom, heart, & long-term vision.
They’re not chasing “get rich quick.” They’re building something that lasts.
