Known for his strength, precision, and determination, he became one of the first East Coast pros to consistently challenge the dominant West Coast scene. A former NBL National #1 Pro, multi-time national champion, and racer for major teams like MCS and GT, Greg helped elevate East Coast BMX to new heights. His leadership extended beyond racing, later founding Metal Works and contributing to the sport’s culture and innovation. His impact and grit firmly cement his place as a true BMX legend.
