About Me
- Greg
- I grew up in San Jose, CA. I enjoyed most outdoor sports and got into skateboarding at a time it all began. Later I turned my attention to work, school, and track. After school I gave up my running shoes for a road bike and have enjoyed cycling ever since. I am currently a USCF Category 3 Road Racer. My first career really began in the US Navy but decided to get out for a better way of life. I joined my middle brother Danny to keep the family business going shortly after the passing of our father and company founder. We grew the company from a few hundred thousand dollars a year to a multi million dollar small business that employed over 25 people. It is a CNC contract machine shop located now in Livermore, CA. I left the business after 16 years and began a new chapter in my life up in Idaho. I have since been investing into real estate and have along with my lovely wife of 16 years, have a nice portfolio of duplexes and single family homes. We have two grown children, Kimberly, age 23, and Peter, age 29. I still train and race my bikes and have goals that include upgrading to a men's category 2, competing at a national level, and winning a state championship.
