EPISODE 20:
GREGG HULL

Greggory D. Hull has been a proud resident of New Mexico for over 35 years, with the City of Rio Rancho at the center of his personal and professional life. Alongside his wife, Carrie, he raised five children in the community—all of whom attended local public schools. Today, their family spans three generations, with nine grandchildren also calling New Mexico home.

Before stepping into public service, Gregg built and operated two successful businesses over more than a decade. Most notably, from 2000 to 2012, he served as President and CEO of Certified Packing & Crating, Inc., a logistics and packaging company serving the greater Albuquerque and Rio Rancho areas. After taking over a struggling business in 2000, he restructured it, created full-time jobs, and ultimately sold his interests in 2012 to spend more time with family and reevaluate his goals. His experience navigating the regulatory and economic challenges of entrepreneurship deeply shaped his approach to leadership.

Driven by a commitment to his community, Gregg ran for mayor of Rio Rancho and was first elected in April 2014. His vision and leadership have since been reaffirmed by voters, leading to re-election in both 2018 and 2022. He is now serving his third term as the city’s first full-time mayor—prior to 2014, the position was part-time.

Mayor Hull’s administration has focused on infrastructure, public safety, and economic development. Under his leadership, Rio Rancho has received national recognition—including being named one of the Best Places to Live for Families in 2024, the Safest Place to Live in New Mexico, and one of the Most Affordable Places to Live in the U.S.

At the heart of Gregg's work is a desire to build a strong economic base by supporting both large and small businesses and fostering a thriving environment for job creation. Beyond politics and business, Gregg and Carrie remain active in their community and local church, living out their shared values of service and stewardship.

This episode dives into Mayor Hull’s journey from entrepreneur to long-serving mayor—and the vision guiding Rio Rancho into the future.
