Gregs love of offshore fishing is legendary in Northeast Florida. Greg would unselfishly hand off a fish to a beginner and had a special gift for teaching youngsters the ins and outs of fishing.

He gave unselfishly of his time and talents to the JOSFC from the start up of their website, the redesign of the newsletter, production of the Reef Guide, and many other graphic productions over the years.

When not on the water, Greg contributed his time and talents to NEFBA Builders Care, a faith based non profit construction organization as their photographer, webmaster and historian for many years. His concern for others was evident as he documented the many charitable projects and events.
