gf-blog-shot-3.jpgA graduate of St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, Greg was a co captain of the 1990 Ohio State Football Buckeyes, a 4 year letterman, and a 3 year starter at quarterback. He also lettered his final two years in baseball and was a member of the 1991 Big Ten Champion Baseball Buckeyes.

Greg still remains the only quarterback in Ohio State history to throw for 2,000 yards in three consecutive seasons, and he is remembered for leading memorable comebacks versus LSU in 1988, Minnesota 1989 (31 points), and Iowa 1990. The Minnesota comeback still ranks as the 2nd greatest in college football history!

Greg is proud of his scholar athlete honors as well. He was a HONDA National Scholar Athlete in 1989 and 1990, and a National Football Foundation / College Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete post graduate scholarship winner in 1990.

After receiving his BA from Ohio State in 1991 (English & Military History), Greg played professionally for the Ohio Glory of the World Football League, and Cleveland Thunderbolts of the Arena Football League, and was drafted in the 62nd round of the 1991 baseball draft by the Detroit Tigers.

Greg is currently a commercial realtor with Crawford Hoying Smith Real Estate Services (CHS) in Dublin. CHS is a full service real estate firm focusing on commercial and investment real estate in Central Ohio.

Greg can also be seen providing color commentary on CSN (Columbus Sports Network) covering the Columbus Destroyers of the Arena Football League, and on ONN (Ohio News Network) covering state high school football playoffs and championships.

Football is still very much a part of Greg’s life, as he is the Offensive Coordinator at Pickerington North High School. He also trains Quarterbacks and Receivers in the football off season. Former and current students include Brady Quinn (ND), Jake Kastan (Bexley HS and Tufts University), and Connor Dietz (2006 Div 1 State Champs Hilliard Davidson).

Greg and his wife Jen reside in Bexley.
