He first became interested in the ocean as a five year old living near the coast in Massachusetts and then learned to SCUBA dive at the age of 16. His enthusiasm for diving helped Greg chose a career in marine biology. He has traveled throughout much of the world for his work including Antarctica, New Zealand, the Caribbean Islands, the Indian Ocean, Japan, Africa, South America, and the South Pacific Islands. |
