For about two months in early 2020, Maj. Gregory Green of the Nevada Air National Guard didnât see much sunlight.
Not only was Maj. Green activated by the Nevada National Guard to help with the stateâs response to the escalating coronavirus pandemic over a year ago, he also was trying to keep his ecommerce business afloat.
Greenâs venture, G7 Corporation, which specializes in selling can cooler sleeves and LED light bulbs, saw sales plummet in March 2020, and he wasnât sure when â or if â they would bounce back.
âIt was nerve-racking,â said Green, whose work office is based in South Reno. âI was probably putting in 16-hour days. I would get up at 3:30 (a.m.), be at my office by 4, work until maybe 6:30, and then drive out to the state warehouse and work out there for the remainder of the day (for the Nevada Guard).â
