Gregory B. Moreland is Pennsylvania state director for the National Federation of Independent Business. Greg’s clear mission is: “standing up for Pennsylvania’s 13,000 small independent businesses – and for the people that make up our communities, just like I did in the military.

But when Moreland, 40, left the military, he wasn't sure he'd ever work again. As a paratrooper in the U.S. Army, 82nd Airborne, Moreland was badly injured in a 2012 explosion in Afghanistan and underwent years of physical therapy. Drawing on the resilience he learned from his own father – a child of poverty who worked his way up to direct Dauphin County’s juvenile detention center – Moreland earned a master’s degree in public administration, interned with state Rep. Maureen Gingrich, and launched a late-blooming but meteoric career in Harrisburg. 

After four years at the Pennsylvania House of Representatives – including as a policy analyst to then-Speaker Mike Turzai – Moreland became chief of staff to the late state Sen. Dave Arnold before joining the NFIB in 2021. Moreland is the proud father of Evelyn, his 7-year-old daughter, and husband to his beautiful wife, Sarah.
