Meet Our Team

Grey Vick, Owner, President of Sales & Real Estate

Grey graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2005, earning both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Business with a concentration in Accounting. He began his career working full-time as an accountant, but shortly after, he started buying and selling properties on the side. When the real estate business became more lucrative than the job in accounting, Grey switched professions to being a full-time investor in real estate. Over the next few years, he bought and sold numerous properties while also working part-time as a college accounting instructor.

In 2007, while living on Wrightsville Beach,  Grey met a neighbor whose father was in the billboard business. Over the next few years, Grey learned the fundamentals of the industry, and together they eventually formed Waterway Outdoor LLC as a 50/50 partnership. Given Grey’s background in real estate and accounting, it made the billboard business a natural fit for him. In 2014, after several years of successfully managing and growing Waterway Outdoor alongside a partner, Grey started a company of his own called Grey Outdoor, LLC. Eventually, Waterway Outdoor was dissolved, and over time, Grey grew the new company to more than 230 billboard structures with about 700 faces- including 13 digital faces across North and South Carolina. Grey is actively expanding his company and plans to be a long-term owner in the business. In 2019, he was nominated for the board of the North Carolina Outdoor Advertising Association. He is grateful for the opportunity to serve local businesses across the Carolinas and assist them in their growth.

Grey and his wife, Sarah, live in Wilmington, NC, where they take great pride in raising their 3 children: Mason, Veda, & Owen. He deeply values spending time with his family and upholding his goals to remain rooted in being the best person, dad, son, and husband he can be. In addition to his successful business endeavors and family life, he is an avid surfer, world traveler, and holds a Brown Belt in Jiu Jitsu.
