As the parents of three young children, Greg and his wife, Kim, have focused their energy (and time) outside of work on family pursuits. Nothing is quite as rewarding as watching your child learn to read or make that perfect pass. When there is individual time, Greg likes to participate in a wide range of activities and is always looking for a new challenge. He enjoys the process of learning a new activity almost as much as the activity itself.
