Becoming as one with the fishes - the dream of an Ohioian. Greg has been fascinated with the oceans since a very young age. He began diving at age 15 because he thought all marine biologists needed to dive. As an undergraduate he studied biology (with a marine specialty) and chemistry at Bowling Green State University. After a year of honing his diving skills through Our World-Underwater, he entered a masters program in marine ecology at Northeastern University. There he spent too many hours in very cold water in New England and never enough time teaching in the warm waters of the Caribbean. After bouncing through several jobs including teaching oceanography for Sea Education Association, school beckoned him once again. He is currently working on a Ph.D. in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Lab in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Stanford University. He hopes they won't make him dive in cold water. This is Greg's third Aquarius mission.
