Meet the writers contributing to Vintage Dad Life with Greg

Hi there, Greg here! I have been a health and fitness professional most of my life. After selling my gym business, I felt pretty lost. Then one day I went for a walk by myself deep into a Florida preserve. As I took a knee near a river bank full of hungry alligators, I closed my eyes and went into a deep meditation. While meditating I asked God, "Who am I?" No response. All I could hear was the growls of alligators in heat. I then went deeper into my meditation, deeper into my heart. Soon the alligator growls faded. Again I asked, "Who am I?" With a deep internal voice I felt, "You are loved." I then responded in my mind, "I don't believe you." Again I ask, "Who am I?" The voice/feeling says, “You’re a soldier of God.” So, I said, "What am I supposed to do? The voice/feeling responds “Fight!” “For who?” I said. "THEM!" From that experience came this mission to empower families and at the age of 45 I became a dad. I now know what I need to do and that is why YOU are here..
