Biography:

Shortly after he graduated from High School, Greg moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. One day, while scanning the newspapers for jobs, he spotted an ad that read: "WANTED - GUITAR PLAYER FOR WORKING BAND." Upon calling, Greg discovered that the "working band" was in fact a back-up group for an Elvis Tribute Artist named David Padget. Greg played lead guitar and sang back-up for Padget for the next three years touring the mid-west and Canada.

In 1983, Greg moved back home to his native Michigan where he worked on many different musical and technical projects. Honing his keyboard skills, he began composing and arranging, as well as voice-over work and production.

In the summer of 1995 Greg got a call asking if he could perform as "Elvis" at a 40th birthday party. Never having done this before, Greg was apprehensive but agreed to do the performance. Needless to say, Greg was a hit as "Elvis" and soon he began receiving calls to do his Tribute Show at private parties and special events. Now after more than a decade, Greg has won several awards as well as the respect of his piers in the industry for his "Tribute to the King".

Greg's list of past clients is long and prestigious. He has performed as "The King" for American Movie Classics, Air Tran Airways, Charter Communications, the National Cherry Festival, The Michigan Elvis Fest, and many more. In 2005 Greg was crowned Grand Champion of the 2005 Michigan Elvis Fest Impersonator Contest.
