context_page_description: Gary Michael Green is an American businessman and entrepreneur. He is CEO of Alliance Building Services, one of the largest privately held building service providers in North America. In 2009, Green channeled his passion for baseball into Alliance Baseball LLC and became an investor and franchise owner in Minor League Baseball.
context_section_description: In June 2012, Green acquired the Omaha Storm Chasers. He negotiated and closed the deal to buy the franchise from owners Warren Buffett, Walter Scott, Jr., and Bill Shea.  Green’s ownership of the franchise ended a 21-year streak in which an Omahan had owned at least a piece of the team. Former Storm Chasers owner Warren Buffett was confident that Green’s record as a successful businessman and team owner would transfer over into the new venture and lauded Green's experience at a press conference announcing the change in ownership: “We know he’s a great owner, we know he has enormous enthusiasm for the game, and he loves Omaha,” Buffett said. “It doesn’t get better than that." Buffett continued, “After 21 years, we want someone who is going to keep it for the next 21 years or more, and he’s that sort of fella.”
