Greg started his career as a draftsman at D’Appolonia Engineering. In the late 70’s, he worked for a local flooring company and realized he had a passion for wood floors.

Greg enjoyed collecting 1950’s memorabilia and a few classic cars over the years. Greg really enjoyed cutting his grass and working in his garden. To him, this was enjoyable and relaxing.
