Greg Kreis is President of Pioneer Data Systems, as well as an on-site instructor and consultant. He has been involved with VistA programming since his years in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from 1983 to 1985.

Since establishing Pioneer Data Systems in 1989, he has specialized in VistA consulting and training, both on-site and distance learning. He has dabbled in C# and .NET and the use of multimedia for training and likes to build his own computers (since the late '90s). Once digital cameras became affordable, he declared this to be the hobby that he will take to the grave.

Greg was born in Colorado, but grew up mostly in Illinois. The son of an airline pilot and veteran of frequent family moves, he has also lived in Idaho, California, and Alabama. Greg settled in the Atlanta area in 1985, along with his long-suffering wife, Jane, and their three children.
