Goodbye Greg, and Thank You

Rhino

@GregArden, an early member of the Rhino geometry development team, will be retiring on March 31, 2025. Greg started as an intern with McNeel in 1998, and started full time in 2001. He contributed to numerous pieces of geometric computation code - most notably Mass Properties (Area, Volume, Centroid, and others that are geometrically robust and accurate), Surface-Surface intersection, and Make2D.

Greg is an avid skier and cyclist - one I could never keep up with, even when my only job was to draft behind him.

Please let Greg know how much his work means to you, and help me wish him well on his next adventure.

Greg, thank you for many great years working with us!

Dear @GregArden!,

back in my college days (rhino 4 ftw!), a classmate and I would joke about buying a beer to whomever in McNeel that had invented Make2D’s.. now I know to who do we owe said beer (and heart attacks, when it seemed like it had frozen!).

Many sincere thank you’s for your hard work, because you made ours easier.

Jaime.

Thanks for everything @GregArden. Seeing another McNeel OG retire is both sad for me and an incredible statement to the quality of the company you helped create. Where else in tech do people stay for 27 years?!

As with all the OG folks who have left, I selfishly hope you fail miserably at retirement and come back to work with us, but that is not your style and I suspect you will succeed at that as you have at everything else.

enjoy your time in the mountains, I’m still picking blackberry thorns out of my arms from the last ride we went on together…but what fun collecting them!

Thanks for everything!
