Personal Endeavors

Art, businesses, children, portraits, weddings: the same passion and child-like curiosity still drives Greg to capture images in unique ways, whatever the location.
As a US citizen and permanent resident of the UK, Greg spends much time traveling internationally. When not on location, he does his best to keep up with his 6, 4 and 3-year old sons (future tower and tree climbers?) and spends quality time with his extended British family.
