Gregory J. Kohs is the youngest child of four, born in Jackson, Michigan to Richard and Loretta Kohs. In 1981, he moved with his parents to Central Florida, settling in Winter Park, Florida.
Kohs now lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania with his wife, daughter, and a cantankerous beagle. Kohs serves on the board of directors of the Church of the Loving Shepherd.
Resume Information
In 1986, Kohs accepted a Dean's Scholarship (half tuition) to attend Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Graduating magna cum laude in 1990 with a Bachelor's degree in History, Kohs accepted a Russell Conwell Fellowship (full tuition, plus annual stipend) to attend Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, he pursued a PhD degree which combined elements of Military History and Quantitative Methods in Geography. After passing the comprehensive exams and completing work on about one-quarter of his dissertation (which was to have covered the Eastern European aviation industry in the 1930's), Kohs opted to leave academia with his Masters degree to pursue a career in marketing research.
Having worked for three previous research firms (Data & Management Counsel, Research Works, and ICR (International Communications Research)), Kohs is now Senior Research Advisor at Comcast. His work includes mostly quantitative survey data collection among consumer audiences; however, some qualitative and commercial services initiatives are always on his plate. Primary research areas will include video (television), Internet, and digital voice (telephony), along with occasional forays into new products and services outside these particular arenas.
Kohs has recently expanded his reach into entrepreneurial ventures centering on wiki editing and optimization. [1] This includes the launch of his MyWikiBiz service and subsequently the role of co-developer in building Centiare itself.

Personal Information
I love many, many things. My wife and daughter are the most important parts of my life; and life is enjoyed best when I am experiencing the things I love with them. This would include travel, skiing, music, and food -- especially stone crab claws!
I also enjoy participating in Texas hold'em poker tournaments. Strange thing is, I enjoy directing a poker tournament just about as much as playing in one.
