About Greg »

Greg is a creative director and graphic designer, and avid sports fan. After two years of writing on the staff of his college's weekly, Greg became the paper's editor-in-chief where he took the paper from a cut-and-paste pre-press operation to a fully digital pre-press process. In doing so, he learned the requisite Adobe layout and design programs which fostered his love for design and ultimately became the basis for his career.

An athlete by passion, Greg grew up in Arcadia, CA and played baseball, football, soccer, and basketball before deciding to focus exclusively on baseball. After a successful career as a starting pitcher in college, Greg hung up the pursuit of playing professional ball to focus on his studies, earning a degree in Ecological Anthropology and Writing from the University of Redlands in 1997.

In his spare time he enjoys cycling, swimming, running and reading, and doing whatever his 10 yr-old son and 1 yr-old daughter want to do. He is happily married and living in Beverly Hills, CA. He spends his autumn Saturdays rooting for the USC Trojans, and generally is supportive of all Southern California teams.

Hey Greg!

LOL, just noticed your latest article...I got something similar! Part 2 of my series on USC's 2009 preview! This time we take a look at the Wide Receivers...one of the best crops in the nation, no doubt.

Hope you get a chance to check it out! Would greatly appreciate it!
