Global Symposium on Racing Speaker: Greg Pachman
Greg Pachman started working with racehorses at the age of 13 as a hotwalker and groom at farms and racetracks in his native New Jersey. After attending Emory University in Atlanta he took a detour to the US Air Force where he flew F-16s, instructed in AT-38s, and investigated aircraft crashes as a flight safety officer.
After leaving active-duty in 2004, Greg went back to the horses while simultaneously working with start-up technology companies. From 2008-2023 Greg owned and operated GP Sports Timing which supplied computerized timing equipment for motorized and active sports through the US and Canada.
Over the past decade, Greg continued working in the software and technology sector while owning and training horses for himself. He has become an expert on the use of sensors and technology in evaluating horses. Greg spent 4 years as a steward with the National Steeplechase Association and serves on their Safety Committee.
