In His Free Time
When he isn’t consulting, teaching or writing, Greg savors his family and plans yet another trip to the Grand Canyon. He enjoys rigorous exercise and reads voraciously. He also confesses to founding and serving as Lord Supreme High Commissioner of a now thirty year old fantasy baseball league, a “time sink and totally frivolous” activity that keeps him tied to sports pages, at ballparks, and connected to friends and colleagues across the country. He also confesses to not kayaking as well as or nearly as much as he’d like.
