Greg has been with CORUS and AM640 since Fall 2019 when he crossed over from Sportsnet 590, the Fan after 9 1/2 years wanting to do something more challenging and diverse than "just" sports.
After success early in his career in Detroit co-hosting the top-rated morning sports talk show in the entire state of Michigan from 2002 to 2007, Greg came to Toronto and CORUS/AM640 to co-host "The Bill Watters Show" when the company had the broadcast rights to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
His time at Sportsnet 590, The Fan began in 2010, and also featured a successful run in morning drive in two incarnations, between 2011 and 2019, so morning audiences are already very familiar in Toronto with his knowledge and personality.
Greg has broadcast play-by-play from several Super Bowls for radio in the United Kingdom, and handled OHL play-by-play for the Windsor Spitfires and Saginaw Spirit from 2002-2008.
His radio recipe is to "play the hits" and "keep things moving", with a mix of news, politics, social commentary, sports, and entertainment. The things people talk about at their dining room table, backyard barbecues, and at kids' sporting events are the things he wants the show to be about.
Greg's current joy is navigating two teenage boys through as he describes it, "an era of adjustment" with his wife of 17 years. His hobbies include making music playlists for runs at the gym, tennis, reading music biographies, and watching documentaries when live news and sports isn't consuming him.

Discuss:
1. Federal gun buyback program starts with pilot project in Nova Scotia, full rollout coming later: I’m predicting Mark Carney dumps the program within a month - any thoughts on that?
2. Chow says Toronto will ‘always support’ speed camera program, as Ford moves to scrap what he calls a ‘cash grab’: Why not make first offence a warning letter or start ticketing when going 10 over rather than an automatic ticket for going 1 over? Wouldn’t it make sense to keep them around elementary schools operating during school hours rather than removing them altogether? Is Ford just caving into criminals who continue to knock down cameras? If you can't beat them, join them?
3. TTC adding crisis workers to portion of Line 1, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says: How concerned are you about safety on the TTC and does this make you feel safer? If this is successful why stop at TTC, shouldn’t they be doing patrols downtown?

2 - TikTok failed to keep kids off platform, Canadian privacy watchdogs find: How do you police tiktok/social media when it comes to kids and do you police kids when it comes to tiktok/social media?
