Greg Emmerling

Enterprise Resource Planning Specialist
Academic and Administrative Information Resources

First UTSW job: Computer Programmer I.

Best part about my job: Working with my co-workers and feeling a sense of accomplishment when I resolve the system issues my users have.

What energizes me at work: Solving problems. It helps that I believe in the mission of UT Southwestern.

How co-workers describe me: A team player willing to help where needed.

Recipe for success: : I’m a good listener, and I work on a problem until I find a solution.

Best UTSW memory: Once when we had a company picnic to celebrate completing a project, we rented a volleyball net with poles at the Bryan Williams, M.D. Student Center. No one told us that the poles would be attached to huge cement blocks. I got a pretty good workout that day.

I’m really good at: I think I’m a good driver, even if my wife disagrees!

I wish I were an instant expert at: Maybe fishing. I can’t catch a fish to save my life.

Surprising fact: My grandfather performed for both the circus and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! (He could turn his head around 180 degrees.)
