Biography

BORN TO RAISE EYEBROWS
An award winning speaker-humorist-singer-songwriter for over 20 years, Greg combines outstanding audience rapport with an irreverent sense of humor. He captivates audiences with a wealth of powerful material about the relationship of lifestyle, music, and laughter to effectiveness and wellness.

Based for many years in Nashville, Greg discovered there was no shortage of "Why me?" songs, and began exploring ways to lighten up life's challenges with mind-expanding songs like "Self-Employment Made Harder By Difficult Boss," and "Analog Brain In A Digital World." His humorous look at relationships, "Common Side Effects Include," recently won the Humor category top honors in the Just Plain Folks Music Awards, out of over 140,000 songs submitted.

Greg delivered one of the primary keynotes at the Humor Project International Conference, which in past years featured Goldie Hawn, Steve Allen, Bob Newhart, and other famous funny persons. Along with six CDs, Greg has released his first book of stories from the road: "Atilla The Gate Agent: Travel Tales and Life Lessons From a Musical Laf-ologist." After reading it, Dr. Larry Dossey was inspired to call Greg "...a contemporary Mark Twain..."

Although he still returns to Nashville frequently for writing and recording sessions, Greg now lives in Kansas City. His current mission in life, and one of his funniest comedy bits, is "Saving the World From Whiny Victim Love Songs."

Notable awards:
Best Comedy/Novelty Song," Just Plain Folks Music Awards "
Christmas Single of the Year," Cashbox magazine
"Best Comedy Song," Music City Song Festival
"Best Humorous Song," NewThought Music Awards
"Best Male Vocalist in Kansas City," Squire Newspapers
