Greg Holyfield and HHR
Wayland “Greg” Holyfield, 31, of Washington DC, is a graduate student in the inaugural class of the University of Arkansas’ Clinton School of Public Service. Before moving to Arkansas for graduate school, he was a legislative assistant to US Congressman Bart Gordon (TN-6th) working on issues including agriculture, immigration, and international relations. Greg also volunteered with the Everybody Wins mentoring program as a mentor for a third grader in Washington, DC’s public schools system.
Before moving to Washington, DC, Greg was a volunteer with the Peace Corps where he served for 27 months in Mali, West Africa. As an Agriculture Extension Agent, Greg oversaw the construction of a garden project for a women’s group in the village of Konna, 60 km east of Mopti.
Upon graduation from the University of Georgia with a degree in history, Greg worked in the production department of Sony/ATV/Tree Music Publishing and served as a “Big Brother” for an elementary student from Nashville.
Greg is primarily concerned with the role of government in developing nations as well as underrepresented areas of the United States.
