Read about me.
๐ Hey, Iโm Gregg.
This is my โAboutโ page.
So โ here it goes, the long, weird timeline of my life:
1968โ1980.
Born a Jersey boy (exit 9 โ if you know, you know).
Got into plenty of trouble in grade school.
Highlight reel: getting suspended for two days because this kid named Benny and I were causing absolute chaosโฆ and the following year, a girl named Julie actually went with me to the 4th-grade school fair.
Big era.
1980โ1983.
Junior high.
Played football and wrestled.
My friend Darwin and I invented a game called โpunch tag,โ which basically involved sneaking up on each other in the hallway and punching each other, then running away.
Wore my โI Shot Jr.โ shirt far more than society recommended.
Also when I discovered fishing.
1983โ1986.
High school.
Football.
Daydreaming through classes.
Awkward attempts at dating.
Solid time with friends.
Learned to make fake IDs โ which came in handy.
1986โ1988.
College 1.
Got a football scholarship and immediately torpedoed it with partying.
Left with a 0.09 GPA, which honestly is kind of impressive.
Worth it. So much fun.
1988โ1991.
College 2.
Realized life was going to be hard โ right around the time my parents cut me off financially.
So I went back to school.
Graduated with a 3.79 GPA.
(And yes, that .01 still annoys me.)
1991โ2020.
Became an adult (ish).
Went through life on autopilot, like most people do.
Plenty of ups and downs.
Learned that failure hurts like hell, but usually teaches you the stuff you actually needed to know.
2020โ2022.
Left the workforce for a wellness break.
Had let a lot of things slide โ mentally and physically.
Lost 75 pounds.
Got my health and head somewhat normal again.
Or at least โGregg normal.โ
2022โ2025.
Stopped living on autopilot.
Sold everything that didnโt fit in a carry-on backpack and started living on the road.
So far Iโve lived or traveled through Albania, Romania, North Macedonia, Greece, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailandโฆ
2025-Present.
And now Iโm living in Vietnam.
Awesome noodle bowls. ๐
I work as a freelance content creator and Iโm building my Substack about simple living, simple food, simple travel, simple everything.
Well, thatโs (mostly) it.
TLDR; Iโm like a fucking onion โ itโs a layer thing.
Thanks for stopping by.
โ Gregg
