MEET THE BOARD!
Greg Cibura
I grew up in Northbrook and have lived in St. Charles for the past 9 years.
I’ve held same job for past 14 years. Currently I’m CTO of FFC.
I help advise on technology for FVJN.
Outside of FVJN and work, I spend time with my wife Elizabeth and 2 minpins (miniature
pinschers). Technology is my hobby, so everything blends together, and I am fortunate for that.
