Hi! My name is Gregory. I was born in Trenton, New Jersey and was raised in Robbinsville.

At a very young age I was put in classes and training for gymnastics, diving, piano, and voice. I ended up competing at a state level in gymnastics and diving, and became involved in many musical and theatrical productions as well.

I enjoyed anything athletic that would take strength and ability, and was always pushing myself to get good at as many activities as I could; starting to lift weights was a very natural progression for me.

I can remember getting some weights at a yard sale with my brother and making a gym in our basement. He built this really uncomfortable bench press out of wood but it ended up working really well. I was probably like fourteen or fifteen years old and after a while I was getting hooked on watching my muscles slowly develop as I got stronger. I think back then I saw myself as too skinny and lots of my motivation probably came from wanting to change that.

It wasn't until I moved to New York City in 1991 that I started studying voice and acting on a much more serious level and going to the gym every day. Bartending and erotic dancing at night not only paid the bills but turned out to be great exposure for me, as many photographers started asking to photograph me. That is basically how I got into modeling. I went through many different print and commercial agents and soon music videos, television appearances, independent films, underground acting projects, readings, and modeling work for stuff like fashion, health and fitness, medical and pharmaceutical companies, catalogs, underwear packaging, and lots of physique work kept me busy and constantly trying to improve my body to compete with all the models in New York.

Some clients I did work for are Nike, Calvin Klein, Lord & Taylor, Mennen, Wilke-Rodriguiz, Merry-Go-Round, International Male, Jockey, Amway, and Panasonic. I started appearing in Allure, Italian Vogue, Exercise for Men Only, Men's Exercise, Manner, Paper, Glamour, GQ, Time Out New York, and with acting representation got acting jobs on HBO and Saturday Night Live, and was in commercials for Holiday Inn, Sears, and Foot Locker.

Right now I'm living in New York City and I continue to pursue acting, modeling, and singing. I spend my days going to classes, running around to auditions, castings and go-sees, and working out in the gym. In my spare time I love exploring the city on my bike, clearing my mind and relaxing in Central Park, keeping harmony and balance in my body by getting shiatsu, reflexology, and accupressure treatments when I can, laughing with my insane friends that refuse to grow up just like me.

Some of my interests and hobbies include architecture, electronics, landscape and interior design, and reading.

I read all of the mail personally and I always appreciate your feedback will try to answer all. Peace, Love, and Happiness.....GREGORY
