One-part insatiable appetite for knowledge...Two parts bleeding heart...3 parts that want to make a difference. That's how you make a Greg. (That's me.)

I'm a marketer, programmer, designer, writer, movie-lover, fantasy fiction reader, lover, scrapper... I'm an internet addict too.

I'm here at TOOLS because Devlyn inspired me years ago when I first worked with him to want better for myself, my future, and the ones I love. I'm here at TOOLS to get a grip on the things that I want a better handle on... Like my impatience, my brashness, my follow-through, and my belief in myself. 

When I was five years old, out with my sister and her friends playing at the little creek beside our house, I was struck in the head by a meteor!

At least that's what I tell people. It was actually a HUGE freakin rock that this kid shawn tried to heft into the creek-bed from the ridge, and instead the show-off hefted it straight into my head.

No major damage was done, but that's one of my favorite stories to tell about my past.

I'm a military brat. My dad went into the military when I was 9, and 17 years later, he's still active duty. We were one of the more fortunate military families in the sense that between 9 and 18 I only had to move 3 times.

I've lived in Kentucky, New York, Missouri, Tennessee, and now Sunny San Diego California! :-)

Growin up and watching my dad go off with his soldiers to take up arms in fights I didn't understand tempered me. THis has led me to believe in my own personal strength to endure pretty much anything. Not knowing if or when you'll see dear old dad with a pulse again can do that to you.

To get where I am today, I've had to find my way out of some pretty sticky situations... And it seems like everything, every possession, every happy moment, every failure, every success has all been by my own hand.

I think some people call that dramatic, or histrionic, but I'm smart enough to know that most of the messes I've found myself in were of my own creation.

I'm very fortunate to have had a past that has only ever enabled me to learn my life-lessons quickly and efficiently. I hope I'm as quick a learner when my future trials show up on my doorstep ;-)
