Greg was released from San Quentin on July 23, 2024 after serving 30 years and 25 days. He is also a graduate of the Harm to Healing Collaborative’s Transformative Mediation program at the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center (SQRC) as well as its reintegration and reentry program, and he understands firsthand how structured conflict-resolution and restorative skill-building can strengthen accountability, safety, and reintegration. On the board, Greg supports the organization’s work in communications and storytelling and lived-experience leadership, helping ensure our public voice and strategy stay grounded in real-world experience and impact.

Outside of board service, Greg enjoys spending time walking on the beach, which is his place of solace.

His training also includes certification through NDACS (the U.S. Navy’s drug and alcohol counseling program), which informs his work with substance use and behavioral health-related challenges.

Robert has dedicated over 25 years to working with at-risk youth, facilitating restorative processes that help young people overcome adversity, take responsibility, and build pathways toward stability and belonging. He currently volunteers at the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, where he leads restorative justice process groups with incarcerated participants.

On the board, Robert supports youth-focused restorative strategy, facilitator development, and program integrity. Outside of his professional work, he enjoys the freedom of riding his motorcycle on the open road.

Building on this foundation of community engagement, Frannie is now a certified mediator and facilitator with a deep commitment to restorative and transformative justice. For the past eight years, she has facilitated dialogue groups inside San Quentin, working with incarcerated individuals to foster accountability, communication, and healing through restorative practices.

On the board, Frannie supports program quality and facilitation practice, helping strengthen dialogue work, training, and a culture of accountability, dignity, and safety.

Frannie began her professional journey as a classically trained actor after completing a four-year conservatory program. She worked for many years as both a stage and voiceover actor. Her background in performance and storytelling informs her facilitation style, helping to create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and able to engage in meaningful dialogue.

She has lived in the Bay Area for more than two decades and is passionate about advancing justice practices that move beyond punishment toward accountability, repair, and human connection.

On the board, John supports strategic direction, branding, and revenue, helping the organization grow responsibly while staying grounded in its mission and values.

John’s commitment to Harm to Healing Collaborative is both personal and professional. After participating in a restorative justice circle connected to harm caused by a member of his family, he saw firsthand what accountable, well-facilitated repair can make possible. He joined the board because he believes this work helps people move from harm to healing in ways traditional approaches often miss — and he is passionate about expanding access so more individuals, families, and communities can benefit.

In his daily life, John enjoys gardening, cooking, yoga, skate skiing on Nordic trails, and endurance cycling. John’s LinkedIn profile
