- Born and raised in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Greg was adopted and diagnosed with aspergers syndrome. The doctors told his parents that he would not be able to function properly but proved them wrong when he reached the age of six.
He started doing sketch art and won certificates at his Elementary school. Then when he was 12 he started making comic books ans selling them. When he was 14 he made comic strips for his school paper eventually leading to interviews with local newspapers and a spot on the 6'O clock news on CBC-TV.
At 17, Greg wanted to get into a rock band but never knew how to so he decided to take up acting and took part in a few small student one act scholarship plays until he graduated. Afterwards, he volunteered for his local community cable TV station doing camera and audio. Evenutally this led him into appearing in front of the camera as he appeared in a couple of TV specials.
At the age of 20 Greg started taking small acting workshops to understand the craft of acting. He won many supporting roles and became heavily involved with a musical and pantomime theater company out in Surrey, BC known as the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society doing supporting roles as well as chorus in shows there.
He desperately wanted to get into horror films so he wrote some story ideas for a few in which they were made and got limited exposure at film festivals and continues to have supporting roles in independent and student films.
Greg also got involved as a webmaster for websites and is a horror film critic at www.racksandrazors.com where there he also hosted an internet podcast show as well as nowadays hosts a blogtalk radio show each month.
