Get to Know Your Professor

Spotlight on Professor Greg.
I was born in Omaha Nebraska while my dad was attending some courses for the Air Force. I
grew up playing baseball and most other sports and am still friends with two of my teammates
from 1976. I played baseball and football in high school and in college. I am still very close with
my parents who live just outside of Baltimore which is where I grew up. I’ve been married twice
and have three kids, including Joey, my 21 year old US Marine [who is a] purple belt. I have an
MBA and manage a company that helps other companies with their product recalls.

5. Favorite Thing About Instructing! “Instructing in Chesterfield has been so
enjoyable...seeing the new students try what I’ve taught and seeing them make real
noticeable progress is the best for me!”
