Picture
Guided by his lifelong bond with his Grandma, Greg has devoted a great deal of time and energy to seniors in the communities where he has lived and traveled.  After college, he began volunteering with seniors on a weekly basis.  He launched a program that brought hundreds of students and young professionals into the lives of seniors as well.  While on the road for events, Greg sets aside time in almost every city to visit, speak with, eat with & learn from seniors who live there.   In one instance, he served as a Judge for a special statewide essay contest for senior citizens. In 2012, he served as Grand(kid) Marshal for the Vintage Games. A former educator, Greg has served as Scholar-in-Residence for different schools & programs in different countries. Along the way, he has received a number of especially fun invitations to work with seniors under the title of "Grandkid-in-Residence."   For more on his involvement with seniors, please visit www.WorldsGreatestGrandma.com
