Greg was born in Toledo, Ohio and graduated from DeVilbiss High School. He was awarded a full Navy scholarship and graduated from the U. of Michigan and then served in the U.S. Navy.

He was awarded a citation for aggressively leading an airstrike on North Vietnam. He was awarded three Air Medals. He was the only person ever to catapult off a carrier with the *wings folded and land successfully.  He was able to recover at Guantanamo Bay Navy base, thereby saving the F-4, his RIO (Radar Intercept Officer) and himself.
