My story

About Greg

I grew up fighting. I did cocaine with my dad at thirteen, brawled with just about anybody, and enlisted in the Marine Corps during my senior year of high school. I was named Honorman of my boot camp platoon, the Marine who carries the guidon, and I was combat promoted to corporal in Kuwait on March 23, 1991.

Coming home brought a different kind of battle. Coming to terms with PTSD, understanding that I was carrying wounds that couldn't be seen, and fighting battles I didn't always understand. It wasn't until I leaned into what happened to me that I began to experience true healing and restoration.

Today, I serve as a pastor, author of The Guide, and speaker, sharing my journey with honesty and transparency: the struggles, the scars, and the transforming power of God's grace. My hope is that through my story, others will find the courage, resilience, faith, and hope to face their own battles and discover that their story isn't over.
