Allie- Executive Assistant
Allie joined the Good Shepherd team in December of 2022. She is a Greenville, SC native and is a 2-time college graduate with an Associate’s and a Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. She originally wanted to create/fund animal cruelty investigation units in the southeast after graduating from school. She has always had a passion for animals and as a result, pursued being a voice for those without one until she realized she could help both animals and people at the same time while working for Good Shepherd.
Her biggest passion in life is horses, and she hopes to own a few when she is older. She currently owns one “fur-baby,” a beagle mix named Pookie. She is also engaged to her fiancé, Daniel, who is a welder in the Upstate. They are extremely excited to finally tie the knot surrounded by family in the fall of 2023. When Allie isn’t at work she enjoys listening to lengthy, action-filled audiobooks and getting some exercise in with her dog around the neighborhood. Allie looks forward to helping customers get through a difficult time in their lives with empathy and compassion.

Gary - Sales Representative and Crematory Operator
Gary, or "Joey" as we like to call him around the office, grew up in Upstate New York. He graduated from Brockport State College in 1994 with a degree in Criminal Justice and happily lived there until three years ago, when he realized he needed a change in scenery. He moved to South Carolina and immediately grew fond of the slower pace that Upstate SC has to offer. He currently lives in Greenville and is now engaged to his fiance, Pepper.
In his spare time, "Joey" enjoys fishing and attending different sporting events, especially cheering on the Steelers. He joined Good Shepherd in March 2023 and absolutely adores his job. He was specifically drawn to our company for the sole purpose of being able to help others in need, and he thoroughly appreciates the opportunity to serve the local community, always smiling while he works.
