Greg Wiesert

Class of 1993

Posted on August 17, 2020

Greg Wiesert (‘93) has always had an interest in helping others, and he’s seen the Lord’s hand guiding every step in his career as a civil servant. After graduating high school, Greg studied pre-med at Cedarville University but stepped away from college after three years and became a member of the Cedarville Township Volunteer Fire Department.

“I wouldn’t recommend that path for everyone, but I was burned out and felt like I needed a break,” he said.

Greg journeyed through various civil service jobs including firefighter, paramedic, and security officer. He ended up at a Dayton area police department, where he has served as a 9-1-1 Dispatcher, a Records Clerk, and now as the Technical Services Supervisor. He supervises the 9-1-1 dispatch center and records department, and he also does most of the department’s in-house computer/IT work.

“I enjoy the diverse activities that occupy my time. No two days seem to be the same,” said Greg. “I also enjoy the interactions and friendships with those who work in my division.”

Greg still looks to his Heritage teachers as examples of true servant leaders, a trait he tries to emulate in his current role at the police department.

“They stressed the importance of hard work, honesty, and being genuine with others,” he said of his former teachers.

Greg and his wife Jill have been married for 15 years and raise three children, ages 13, 9, and 8, in Jamestown, OH.
