Born: Columbus, Ohio

Greg began private instruction at 10 years of age. After his family moved to Athens Ohio, he continued private study with the late Guy Remonko, Professor Emeritus of Music at Ohio University.

His regular attendance at the annual Jazz Drumming Workshop hosted at Ohio University afforded Greg the opportunity to study with many prestigious instructors such as Ed Soph, Bob Breithaupt and Steve Houghton.

After moving to Nebraska in the mid-1980’s, he became close friends with many of Omaha and Lincoln’s finest local musicians, entertainers and celebrities. Their acceptance and support was the catalyst for his musical establishment in the Midwest.

Greg has traveled the United States, Europe and the Caribbean as a cruise ship drummer. In addition he has backed various artists including Paul Shafer, Doc Severinsen, Greg Abate, Joe Cartwright, Angela Hagenbach, Rex Cadwallader, Eldar Djangirov, Kelly Ellenwood, Kahil El’Zabar, Kirk Garrison, Ryan Kisor, Kevin Mahogany, Don Menza, Roger Neumann, Jeff Newell, Claudio Roditi, Arturo Sandoval, Bob Newhart, Howie Mandel and many others.

He performs locally in the Omaha / Lincoln area with the Nebraska Jazz Orchestra, Michael Gurciullo’s Las Vegas Lab band, Jorge Nila, Matt Wallace, Dr. Darryl White, Susie Thorne, The Hegg Brothers, Alexis Arai and other talented regional artists.

Private instruction is available.
