His first grandson arrived in June 2017.
He is an award-winning journalist who spent seventeen years covering the recreation vehicle (RV) industry by editing several magazines before venturing out on his own to create the industry's first online daily publication, blog, and podcast. For three years, he traveled across America full-time in a motorhome, visiting all forty-eight continental states and reporting on the industry. Hawaii is the only state he has yet to visit.
His life wasn't always sunshine and adventure, though. After his parents divorced when he was eight years old, Greg struggled with poor self-esteem and anger. He was bullied frequently in elementary and middle school to the point of having his arm broken. His father died suddenly when he was nineteen years old, and for much of his life Greg struggled with a weight problem.
For years, he wandered aimlessly seeking purpose for his life. He worked more than twenty jobs between his sixteenth and fortieth birthdays, including stints as a restaurant manager, police officer, emergency medical technician, public relations professional, event photographer and writer. He cut his teeth as a journalist while serving in the U.S. Air Force.
The one common thread through it all was an obsession with pornography, which began two weeks after his twelfth birthday when a neighbor teen showed him a Playboy magazine. Porn became a welcome escape from the heartbreak, loneliness, and abandonment he felt.
By the time he was thirty-three, Greg had accumulated 1,400 men's magazines before his wife discovered the problem. After that, he ditched the paper dolls and his obsession went viral while he accumulated more than four million hidden electronic porn images and 25,000 videos at the lowest point of his life.
However, during that time, Greg became a Christian, and God slowly peeled back the layers of hurt, anger, and bitterness for many years until Greg could finally break free of the bondage.
Today, he splits his time between Wisconsin and Texas (to be closer to his girls) while working as a speaker and author of faith-based books. He believes in the power of second chances and is passionate about helping others build habit-crushing, mountain-moving faith to defeat the Goliaths in their lives.view less
