travel & hospitality
As a teen, Greg's first job was at a hotel. As an adult, he has spoken at events for schools & organizations (e.g. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport) that focus on travel, tourism & hospitality. He has received some related honors (e.g. honorary degree in Hospitality Management). He has been interviewed by media like FLY Magazine. He has written for the media as well -- including a column about how we treat those we meet during our business travels, a column about 'repeat tourism', and an article about a hotel GM. SCROLL DOWN
Many travel, tourism & hospitality-related organizations (e.g. Dayton International Airport) have used the books based on Greg's story -- getting copies for their own staff, travelers, local students &/or attendees at events. Many CVB's, hotels and other hospitality & travel-related groups have sponsored The Elevator Project. In turn, many people who work in travel & hospitality have been chosen as Elevator Project honorees.

Patrick Hogan, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport: "I really loved reading The First Thirty. We all set goals as we travel through life. If we open ourselves to possibilities, then the people we encounter and the lessons we learn along the way are often the best part of the trip." For more on the books, click here

Jeanne-Marie, Louisiana: "The First Thirty is an inspiring reminder that, whether it's the other side of the world, the other side of the country, or just the other side of the tracks, if you end up in a place you never expected to be and dare to explore it, you just may find your passion in the process."

On a flight, sitting with a Veteran heading home. He wanted a copy of the book (The First Thirty) but had no cash. So, a trade was made. A copy of the book in exchange for some of the currency he confiscated from the Taliban.
