Nationally respected telecom visionary, millionaire, founder and CEO of Fatbeam, Gregory Green, is giving back to his beloved community.
Coeur d’Alene, ID – August 12, 2019 – Green, a resident of Coeur d’Alene who grew up in the area, moved back a few years ago to build his last company, Fatbeam, with the mission to create high paying tech jobs in the community.
Via Mr. Green’s Foundation, he has established a scholarship in the name of Toni Edinger, former girlfriend, and childhood friend and family, for North Idaho College students. The Edinger family are long-time citizens of the Coeur d’Alene community, an avid softball, and sports enthusiasts. Toni Edinger played competitive softball on a national level as a youth and was accomplished as an athlete and student in the classroom. Her father and two uncles umpired in community softball leagues for many years, and her uncle, Ron Edinger, was a long-term councilman for the City of Coeur d’Alene. “Greg is a good man, and we are very happy that he has created this scholarship in Toni’s name,” said Dick Edinger, Toni’s father.
