Greg was born in Metalline Falls, Washington in 1959 and lived for the next four years in Spokane. He moved to Little Rock, Arkansas and attended Sherwood Elementary until age 13, when he moved to Duncanville, Texas. He attended Reed Junior High and graduated from Duncanville High School in 1978. As a kid, he enjoyed fishing, swimming and spending time in the woods; wherever he was, he always found himself spending lots of time in and around the water. After graduation, Greg joined the Navy where he spent two years on the USS Guam and developed more of an interest in and respect of the ocean. He attended US Navy Dive School at Little Creek Amphibious Base in Norfolk, Virginia and spent the next two years with the Underwater Photo Team and had the opportunity to develop a fascination for marine life. After working as a commercial diver for five years, Greg decided to pursue a career in Marine Biology and subsequently attended West Virginia University for an undergraduate degree in Biology. When he graduated, he went to the University of North Carolina to pursue a graduate degree in Marine Biology. He currently works as a Research Specialist for Dr. Joe Pawlik and is interested in the ecology and chemistry of deep reef sponges.
