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.
