REASON 1 Pedigree
The son of a preacher man and a graphic designer,
Greg was raised with a keen eye and a
compassionate heart. This upbringing led to an
appreciation of the arts and admission to the
Rhode Island School of Design where he earned a
BFA Graphic Design in 1997. It also taught him
the ability to persuasively communicate his
concepts in presentations. And the skills to
pray that his clients are smart enough to like
them.

REASON 2 Proven Results
Greg has a long history of getting results and
making money for his clients. These clients
include some of the biggest names in the business
like American Express, Dell, and Dunkin Donuts.
Each with their unique assignments. Each
approached with ferocious intensity. These proven
results have earned him multiple awards and
unheard of response rates. Try a 700 ROI in the
first 6 weeks of launching Gregs Reward your
Style Loyalty program for DSW Shoe Warehouse. Or
a 92 increase of unique web users for Dunkin
Donuts. In 2005, Greg was awarded the Indivia
Prodigy Award, given each year to an innovator in
the field of direct marketing under the age of
30.

REASON 3 A Media Whore
Greg watches more TV than anyone I know. And he
reads tons of magazines. And watches every movie
known to man. And boasts a CD collection over
10,000 albums. He is a self-described, "Media
Whore" with a voracious appetite for information
and an encyclopedic mind for pop culture. This
understanding of the watching, buying, and
listening habits is probably why, when he
concepted work for some of his retail clients
like DSW Shoe Warehouse, Dunkin Donuts, and
PetSmart, the results were off the chart.

REASON 4 Go-Getter
Greg never uses the word, Cant. When he wants
something he does everything possible to get it.
When he has an idea, he does everything in his
power to make it a reality. This attitude has
served him well both professionally and in his
personal endeavors. Maybe that's why he moved
up from a Junior Art Director to an Associate
Creative Director in less than 4 years after
school with the endorsement of all his peers. And
why he loves kicking ass in video games, tennis,
poker, and fantasy football. But thats not
all As a Contributing Writer for the book,
iPod and iTunes Hacks, by O'Reilly, Greg
published the definitive resource in converting
vinyl recordings to MP3. As the DJ of a popular
Internet Radio Broadcast, Fresh Cuts from the
Audiobarn, Greg attracted listeners to his mix of
hip hop and electronica. As Chelvis The
Chinese Elvis, Greg created an international
phenomenon boasting over a million page views
and a mention on BBC and Fox News.
