Gregg is a native New Yorker who discovered the beautiful Northwest in college. He graduated from Western WA University and later Western Seminary and Portland Seminary. He has served as a pastor for 30 years and has experience making disciples at small, medium, and large churches and leading in urban and suburban settings. Additionally, Gregg has served with Slingshot Group for the last ten years, a church staffing and coaching organization committed to building remarkable teams. Gregg is a pizza snob and loves the Mets so much he worked as a vendor for three years to get into games for free. His redeeming quality is his marriage to Janine—she makes him look good. They love to brag about their three incredible adult daughters who inspire them and make them laugh. Gregg loves to read, watch movies, and play sports. He also enjoys writing. He has published two spiritual growth books: 52 Ways to Grow Your Faith and 52 Reasons to Believe, and blogs at LetsMakeDisciples.org. Fun fact: Gregg's father is also named Greg, so Gregg's family calls him by his middle name, Peter
