"The employees, management, Board of Directors and shareholders of Pacific Sunwear owe Greg the highest levels of appreciation for his outstanding leadership and direction of their company."

He leaves confident that Pacific Sunwear has an outstanding portfolio of retail concepts, talented people and a very experienced leadership team."
