After 15 years of outstanding and meticulous accounting, our ‘Budget Brain’ and all-around Resource Management Maestro, Mr. Greg Dempsey, TATRC’s Chief Financial Officer, has officially retired! Throughout his tenure, Greg has been a devoted, beloved, and invaluable member of the TATRC family. It is bittersweet to see him go, but he has trained his crew well and has been critical in the search for his replacement candidate, so we know we'll be in good hands!

As they say, ‘the days move slow, but the years move fast.’ Joining TATRC in 2006 after a distinguished 27 year career as an Army Comptroller, Greg has had a front row seat to watch the organization grow as leadership changes, mission shifts, and Command directives took a group that once existed solely to manage Congressional Special Interest funds and turned it into USAMRDC’s newest Command and a standalone research and prototyping lab for medical robotics, simulation, virtual health, and much more! What once seemed like a slow shift over many years, for Greg now seems, as he puts it, “a pretty amazing transformation, made possible by dedicated, hardworking people driving forward as a team.”

In order to give him a proper, well deserved TATRC send-off, and to thank him for his loyal and stellar performance, the Team held a farewell & retirement reception in his honor. Reflecting on his time here, Greg said, "It's not about the job so much as it's about the people, and our people are, and have always been, amazing." Greg wasted no time embracing retirement! He jet-setted off to Notre Dame’s Warren Golf Course the morning after his last day. When considering the years to come, he’s optimistic and eager to get more time closer to the places and people he loves.

Inspite of COVID-19 restrictions, the TATRC family was in attendance physically and virtually to congratulate Mr. Dempsey on his well-deserved retirement.

“Those that know me know I’m a huge sports fan, namely a Notre Dame sports fan. We’ve looked forward to moving closer to family and closer to Notre Dame. We get to be more involved and it’s the best of both worlds.”

Our sincerest thanks for your loyal friendship and dedicated support over the years, Greg, and congratulations on a well-deserved retirement! You will be dearly missed by all of us, but we wish you all the best in retirement!
