Greg was born in Texas and grew up there as well as in other places including California, New Mexico, Alaska, Germany, Venezuela, and Norway. He started college in Barcelona, Spain and later quit college in Texas to work the oilfields of Iran and Egypt. His two daughters were born in California where their mother, a fellow traveler, was also born. He left there to work a construction project in Asia for two years and returned to Korea a couple years later after a failed business attempt in the US. He brought his young family to Venezuela in the early 1990's and realized three years later that he had lived in Caracas longer than he had any other place for a continuous length of time except for when he lived in New Mexico. He was a boy then and would visit the high country with his family, fishing, camping, or climbing.

Greg has traveled for work, but that wasn't the primary motivation for going. When he had the money, he traveled just for the joy of being somewhere he had not been before: taking photographs on the savanna of Masai Maru or along a river, brown with silt, in Samburu, East Africa; hiking among Incan ruins in the mountains of Peru with his daughter and spending Christmas in the Plaza de Armas in Cuzco; scuba diving in the clear waters of Caribbean islands and teaching his girls to snorkel among the corals in Bonaire and Bequia; sitting in temple gardens in Kyoto in the spring when his oldest was a baby and she held sprigs of sakura in her tiny fingers; driving through the terraced hills of Bali to Hindu temples guarded by hordes of tourist friendly monkeys; taking time to drink sugary chai with Bakhtiari nomads in their black tents outside Shiraz; or trekking the Annapurna massif in Nepal.

He writes for personal gratification. But he has occasionally been published internationally, for instance, as a columnist in The Korea Herald.

Greg's house is in Houston but he spends at least a few days away each week on business. He works for an international engineering and construction firm as an inspector for their projects. He speak passable Spanish and, as a result, often spends time in Latin America for his work. He spent much of last year in Mexico in the colonial silver mining area of Queretaro.

Greg owns a few acres in Southern New Mexico and dreams of building a house in the temperate heights of the Sacramento Mountains there someday.
