Motivational Speaker
You know, I’ve had a lot of dreams in my life.
I guess you could call me a dreamer. As a young boy I had a pretty active imagination. I remember day-dreaming about far away journeys, great adventures, fabulous success, cool machines, being in the Guinness book of world records, building a time machine - you know… typical boy stuff.
Greg is a professional Motivational Speaker with 2 Guinness world records for physical endurance. His presentation is guaranteed to energize and motivate any audience!
Amazingly, ALL my dreams came true. Well, aside from the time travel thing – I’m still working on that one.
But why me? I mean... why did MY dreams come true, yet this isn’t the case for many others? We all dream right? If dreaming was the only requirement needed to make dreams come true, then we would be living in Utopia. And we’re not – at least as far as I’ve been able to tell.
It took me almost 50 years, but I think I’ve got it figured out. I know the reason MY dreams came true (and continue to) and how YOURS can too. One word: Be Bold!. OK, I know that’s two words. I’ve never been the smartest guy in the room. But I’ve often been the boldest, and that’s gotten me to where I am today.
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would have done anything to get it? And then, part of the way through your journey to get that thing, in the middle of all the pain and the agony and the things-going-wrong, you stop and you ask yourself; “What WAS I thinking?”
Well I have. And in fact, that is the story of my life. Really.
I've learned that sometimes, this is EXACTLY the kind of attitude it takes to accomplish a dream. In the words of Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe:
“What you can do or dream you can do, begin it. For boldness has genius, power and magic in it”.
When I was 33 years old, I sold my software company to Adobe Systems and I was ready for a new challenge. I decided to step out of my comfort zone - WAY out of my comfort zone. After finishing 12 Ironman triathons and qualifying for Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, I went on to design and build some very innovative human powered machines, and set 2 Guinness world records for the most distance travelled by human power on land and water in just one day. It took me 7 years of trial and error, painful learning curves, failed experiments, and insane physical training but I eventually succeeded and set my first world record. And I lost 60 pounds in the process!
I am an adventurer at heart, and I plan on crossing the Pacific ocean under my own power. One of my objectives is to inspire others to start using their human-power more.
I am now thrilled to be in a position where I am able to realize another dream of  mine come true – to share my stories and the secrets I’ve learned along the way about how YOU can make YOUR dreams come true, as a motivational speaker.
They say that the purpose of a speech is to change the world, but my goal – my DREAM is to change LIVES. I would be honored to have the opportunity to speak to, and motivate your group as your motivational speaker, or motivational keynote speaker for your next event.
Weather you want to be the best in the world, or the best in YOUR world, begin it – because BOLDNESS has genius, power and magic in it.

Why should you book Greg for your next event?
1. Greg is not only an accomplished athlete with 4 world records, he is also an experienced entrepreneur who was a millionaire by the time he was 30 years old. He understands and can identify with challenges that businesses and organizations face. Plus, he grew his companies during two previous recessions, so he is very familiar with this challenging economic environment.
2. They say that the reason to give a speech is to change the world, but Greg's mission is to change lives. His passion is speaking, and he lives for sharing his stories and teaching others how they too can make their dreams come true.
3. Greg's speech will have your audience on the edge of their seats one minute and laughing hysterically the next. He has inspired and entertained a wide range of audiences from sales to CEO's.
4. Greg is very relatable. The subject of many of his stories center around his FAILURES - not just his successes. Before he became the fastest man in the world, he was a 200 lb over weight, unfit guy who almost failed out of high school.
5. Greg teaches that human power is all about doing MORE with LESS which is a fundamental survival tactic in this challenging economic environment.

“We have just recently been enriched and rewarded by having Greg speak at our national sales meeting in Washington, DC. Greg shared his personal story of challenges and triumphs, preparations, and the results in pursuing his goals and was truly an inspiration for us all. His lessons appealed to us both personally and professionally and each of us walked away with such great life lessons that in the following days Greg was not only the talk of the town, but quoted in some of our presentations as well. Greg’s story was told with humility, humor, and his audio and visual presentation on screen was extremely well done and very motivating. Greg truly connects with people across a wide range of experiences and occupations.”
