Greg has varied personal interests. Needless to say, he is an avid reader and his regular reading tastes run from the Bible to Victorian novels, from layman's math and physics texts to periodicals covering science, motorcycles, and cars. He enjoys jogging on wooded trails, bicycle and motorcycle riding, and working out at the Leach Center. His musical tastes remain rooted in the 50s and 60s with both the popular and country music of those decades his favorite. He wants to be a ski-bum when he grows up.
Greg's greatest influences in his life have been his parents, father-in-law, and wife, Sharon Ann. His favorite times are spent with his family, and all FSU graduates.
