Greg was raised in Racine, WI and graduated from Horlick High School. Greg went on to graduate from University of Wisconsin - Whitewater with a degree in education. Greg was a proud Teamster and drove city bus in Racine for Belle Urban System for 30 years until he retired.

Greg and Gail were married in Port Charlotte, FL on April 18, 1997. Greg enjoyed travelling, live music, and wintering in Port Charlotte, FL and Long Beach, MS.
