North Carolina

Over the years, Greg has spent time - & collaborated with a lot of groups - in North Carolina.  On a personal level, he has taken part in fun experiences like throwing out the first pitch game at a Charlotte Knights game, whitewater rafting at the US National Whitewater Center and doing a ride-along at the Richard Petty Driving Experience.  On a civic level, his foundation funded a college scholarship for a student in North Carolina. On the professional level, the books based on Greg's story (The Silhouette Man & The First Thirty) have been utilized by schools & groups in North Carolina  (i.e. UNC Chapel Hill ordered copies of The Silhouette Man for selected students at its university; The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro ordered copies of The First Thirty for teen philanthropists; a fan ordered copies  of The Silhouette Man for each player on the Charlotte Knights) as part of their efforts to make a positive impact in the community. SCROLL DOWN TO CONTINUE
