Greg was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1957. He was raised Roman Catholic, and lived in the city of Pittsburgh with his parents and three siblings until the age of 12. He then moved “to the suburbs”, and eventually began attending Young Life, a non-denominational Christian outreach for High School students. It was his involvement in Young Life that would cause him to come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord, and eventually have a major impact in leading Greg to full time ministry.
He attended college at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring initially in Chemical Engineering. However, he became a Young Life volunteer leader, and part-time youth minister, and would eventually change his major to Religious Studies and Philosophy and move toward joining the Episcopal Church.
Following graduation from college, Greg married Meredith, also a Young Life volunteer leader (as well as Young Life staff), whom he met while they were working together in youth ministry. Several years later, he attended Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry.
Greg has served as an assistant at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania; as associate at Christ Church, San Antonio, Texas; and has been Rector of St. Luke’s on Hilton Head Island since 1992. Greg and Meredith have been married for twenty-eight years, and have three children: Bethany, 21; Daniel, 19; and Aaron, 16. He enjoys his family, racquetball, golf (in reality, most sports: recreational, or spectator!), reading, and playing guitar.
