libraries & literacy
As a child, Greg loved books and spent much of his time at the library. The first book he purchased with his own money (a book about Harriet Tubman) inspired him to want to make a positive difference. Soon after, he signed up for a charity Read-a-Thon & actively participated in it for several years. Those experiences sparked a lifelong interest in reading. As an adult, he has taken part in the READ public service campaign to promote various libraries. The nonprofit he founded has contributed to a number of libraries & literacy programs. SCROLL DOWN
Greg has spoken at local events (i.e. Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati), statewide events (i.e. Florida Library Association's Annual Conference), and national events (i.e. National Conference on Family Literacy). He also has participated in book signings (i.e. Cape Town Book Fair in South Africa), on-stage interviews (i.e. Baltimore Book Festival) & print interviews (i.e. Florida Libraries) SCROLL DOWN

He has spoken &/or done signings at libraries &/or at events sponsored by libraries (i.e. Genoa Public Library). He has done readings of The Milkshake Man at events for kids (i.e. Readers are Leaders), adult learners (i.e. Skokie Public Library) & intergenerational audiences (i.e. Monroe Public Library). Organizations (i.e. Racine Literacy Council) have ordered the books, workbooks &/or posters for their Board, staff, tutors, teachers &/or students. Locations (i.e. Brookhaven Free Library) have sponsored an edition of The Elevator Project. Many libraries have ordered the books for their collections. During the pandemic, Greg has teamed up with libraries (i.e. Brewer Public Library) & organizations (i.e. Reach the Summit Language and Literacy Clinic) on long-distance projects.
