Meet Gregory
Dr. Gregory Scott Koenig has lived in Nevada most of his life. He is a fourth generation Nevadan, with children and grandchildren continuing the legacy in this great state by making Nevada their home. He was born out of state while his dad was fighting in Vietnam, but returned at the age of five. He completed his K-12 schooling in Fallon and did some of his undergraduate work at UNR. He attended Pacific University College of Optometry near Portland, and returned to Fallon to start his own practice upon graduation. Dr. Koenig now has practices in Fallon, Fernley, and Yerington. He and his wife Terra have been married for over 30 years. They have 3 children, Kennedy, Baylee and Davis as well as 5 grandchildren.
Dr. Koenig has significant experience in local government. He served 12 years on the Churchill County School Board, with half of that time as board president. He was also president of the Nevada Association of School Boards, and sat on the NIAA board which oversees high school athletics for the entire state. Currently, Dr. Koenig is a Churchill County Commissioner.
He is active in his church and enjoys his early morning basketball games, golf (don’t ask him his handicap), painting, traveling, and making memories with his family.
