About me: Launching the legacy

To all who stumble upon this site, my name is Greg. I have traveled all over the U.S. looking to make it big as a performer. The journey has crossed 35 states and I have lived in about a third of them over the last 12 years. I am a writer, actor, comic, DJ, VJ, TV, radio and movie personality.I've opened for famous comics such as Taylor Mason, Jeff Dunham, Pablo Francisco, Dave Attel and Diane Ford (famous in comedy circles anyway). I've rubbed elbows with sports stars, rock stars and other member of the rich and famous. I've put together a magazine and a newsletter basically from scratch in a couple states and have been section editor for newspaper publications. Natural talent and the ability to read, assess and solve issues with creativity and unconventional logic afforded me those opportunities. being in the right place and bumping into the right people helps but in my travels i've learned those opportunities are always there if you're willing to put in the effort to find them. I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. In my mind my gifts as an athlete, writer and performer will always see me through. Experiencing so many different people, cultures, regions and attitudes has readied me for whatever I have to face. I travel on a whim, usually with little money and not knowing anyone where I am going. The journey is always half the fun. The uncertainty is always an adrenaline rush. I know i'm wired a little differently than most and I don't advise this path for everyone. I do think everyone should venture outside their comfort zone and experience life outside the box at least once. I am 31, childless, single and have no worldly responsibility other than myself so why not follow my bliss? I did finish vocational school for travel and tourism, serve in the Army and put in time at a 4-year college but I have learned more in my travels than I will ever learn in a classroom. This is where I think I can be of some assistance to the rest of the world, particularly the 'struggling artist'. During my latest setback with the cruise line I thought about that term. I thought to myself, 'How many people are feeling exactly the same way I feel right now?' I felt betrayed, confused, angry, shocked and alone in the world. Even with all my talent and ability, to get turned away at the eleventh hour was a huge blow to my ego. I wondered how many comics, artists, dancers, singers and actors felt the exact same way because the person or people making the decisions closed the door on their dream. Instead of becoming more depressed, it strengthened my resolve. I did not plan on moving to Wisconsin and becoming a blackjack dealer. I was only going there to visit friends and move on. The stage set itself and I unknowingly walked onto it. Before the end I was offered a richer position and even if it didn't materialize I knew I succeeded. I have been too many places, met too many people, performed on too many stages, endured too many tests of heart, soul and desire, seen too many things and learned far too much from great teachers to believe there is any way I will not achieve all I have envisioned for myself. It would be nice to settle down and raise a family but from the looks of things, it isn't in the cards right now. I know I am destined for greatness and I will not stop even after I have achieved it. I have nothing but the greatest of confidence in what I know and what I can do. Very soon, the rest of the world will see me in the light I see myself in right now. Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps what happened in Wisconsin was necessary for me to share my truth with my fellow artists along with a unifying message: You are not alone. If anyone who doesn't know me has managed to make it this far I will be truly amazed. My purpose is to chronicle my rise to stardom, pictures, writings, stories, thoughts on a number of topics and support for others who feel like their dream will not happen. Everyone feel free to tell me what you think and I will freely offer my advice if asked. I want my fellow artists to come in and find support in one another, to share in our victories and encourage others.
