Greg's is a versatile, young, Emmy-certified composer whose scores have accompanied television, games, and feature films. His score to Rene Alberta's above and beneath (Sundance / Toronto Official Selection) featured beats and grooves inspired by the film maker's love of electronica. Smallville: The Vengeance Chronicles, The Fantastic Magnifico, and the game Armageddon Empires all begged for a full symphonic orchestra to accompany the action. 2nd De Novimebre utilized Gladiator-like vocals and the improvisations of guitarist Mehran Mehran into an entrancing soundscape. ID Theft, Laguna’s Film’s recent feature release, seamlessly integrates understated orchestral scoring with Latin influences.

Greg is also an active concert composer, creating collaborative works that combine music with dance, film, and radio. His most recent work, Forbidden to Face the Natural Light mixes brass and percussion with clips from Ira Glass's Peabody-award winning radio show This American Live. In 2005 Greg collaborated with dance choreographer Kelly Bowker to create Falling from Rest, a 15-minute dance and music experience. In 2006 he sound designed and scored Jenny Montgomery’s The Oasis Project, a powerful theatre work born out of interviews with victims of genocide around the world.

Greg graduated with a degree in composition and music technology from the University of Michigan in 2004 and moved to New York to work with Charles Newman at Motherwest Studios. He also served as an assistant/orchestrator for Emmy winning producer/composer Brian Keane. In 2006 Greg moved to Chicago, where he continued to work as a composer and sound designer as well as play trombone in the punk marching band Mucca Pazza.

Greg moved to Los Angeles in 2007 and works out of his home studio in the North Hollywood area.
