From Little League and high school sports to a triathlon and unlikely 'tryout' with the AAA affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, Greg has been active in athletics all his life. On the civic side, sports & fitness were also integral to the mentoring program he founded, and his Foundation has funded a variety of scholarships to support those studying in health-related fields. Greg has spoken at a variety of events for athletes at the high school and collegiate level as well as events for those in related fields like a conference for nurses. The books based on Greg's story (The First Thirty and The Silhouette Man, both by Jillip Paxson) highlight some of the lessons we learn from sports as well as lessons that are relevant to those who play sports. College and pro sports teams and other health & fitness related organizations have ordered copies for their own team members, staff, clients, donors, beneficiaries and/or local students.
