Personal

Born in Tallahassee, Florida, Greg grew up surrounded by 4 sisters and no brothers. After following his college sweetheart to Dallas, Greg successfully married up and is now the very proud father of three young boys. As a result, his current activities mostly involve building forts, building legos and building patience. When he has a minute away, it’s ideally for an early morning run or a fishing trip. Greg takes no prisoners in family board games.
