Greg was born and raised in Fishkill, N.Y. He was accepted to Arizona State University where he received his B.A. in Broadcasting (1990). During his first year at ASU he heard a clear presentation of the gospel from a staff member with Campus Crusade for Christ and Greg received the free gift of eternal life in October of 1986.
Upon graduating from college Greg served on staff with Campus Crusade and in the middle of his support raising he was challenged to take a few courses at Phoenix Seminary. Shortly thereafter he left staff and began attending seminary full-time. He received his Masters in Divinity in Biblical Communications in 1998.
In 1994, Greg met the girl of his dreams and after two years of dating Greg and Leigh Ann were married on a Monday night on May 6, 1996. Greg and Leigh have been blessed by God to have three children – Caden (10), Bailey (6), and Malia (4).
Greg and Leigh Ann planted a church in 1999 (Canyon Ridge Community Church) and Greg served as it’s Sr. Pastor until 2002.
