Greg McDonald

Mr. Greg McDonald is the President of Eleven Western Builders, Inc., and a great one at that. He does so much for our company and he’s helped position us for success even through the economic whirl winds we’ve encountered over the last few years.

Originally out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Greg now resides in Escondido with his wife Patti. When he’s not working hard for EWB, he enjoys time on the golf course. He’s hit four hole-in-ones and strives to get better every time when he's out on the course. His favorite place to be is either on a golf course or at a National Park and he’s got a sweet tooth for ice cream.

Problem solving has always been part of Greg’s character and he attributes his success to his willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done coupled with a drive and desire to learn as much as he possibly can. He’d also like to extend a sincere thank you to both Rick and Wayne Backus for helping him to become the man he is today.
