Gregory O. McCullough
Biography

    Gregory McCullough was raised in the Pacific Northwest where he sailed, skied, played football, and learned karate for self defense. He still enjoys these competitive activities. At an early age, he developed an interest in language, logic, grammar, and argument. The youngest of five boys, he had ample opportunity to hone his skills at dinner table discussions facilitated by his father, a retired orthopedic surgeon. His interests and competitive personality led him to pursue a career in law. He attended Seattle Preparatory School, where he maintained a 4.00 GPA; Seattle University, where he earned summa cum laude honors; and the University of Washington School of Law, where he graduated in the top 10 per cent of his class.  He was admitted to the Washington State Bar in 1988. He served as a judicial law clerk at the Washington State Court of Appeals from 1988 to 1990. He married a Sanford native and moved to Sanford, where he was admitted to the Maine Bar in 1991.  He worked at the Sanford firm of Bourque & Clegg before starting his own practice in 1993. He has been at his current location in Sanford, 1074 Main Street, since 1995.

 

    Attorney McCullough has taught the Sanford High School Mock Trial team since 1998. His two older children participated during all four of their high school years, and his youngest is in her fourth year on the team. "It allows me to pursue my love of teaching and the law," Mr. McCullough says of his mock trial coaching experience. "Even if none of my children pursue a career in law, like the other students on Sanford's mock trial team, they will be infinitely better in whatever they do because of the critical thinking skills which they developed during their mock trial experience."
