As founder and CEO of Physicians Fitness, Greg's vision for his company was shaped while working as an assistant to physicians in a sports medicine clinic. It was during this tenure that he noticed the unfortunate reality that most of the patients of the clinic were there as a result of poor physical conditioning. He observed that the patient base consisted of individuals who would return to the clinic for treatment of re-injury to a problem area or the development of new symptoms due to compensation patterns created by the original patho-physiology. The medical and chiropractic staff encouraged these patients to participate in exercise and fitness programs, but did not have the time or resources to effectively assess, develop, and implement a safe, global health-fitness plan.

As a graduate of the United States Navy's Nuclear Engineering School, Greg used his foundation of engineering skills and his academic certifications – Clinical Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer and Muscle Activation Techniques Certified Specialist and his experiences working with a wide variety of medical professionals to develop the Mobility Profiling Method of pre-exercise physical assessment.

Greg's involvement in the fitness industry includes authoring articles for fitness and medical publications, presenting relevant topics to fitness professionals at continuing education conferences, and achieving the "Master Level" designation as a personal fitness professional from IDEA. Greg received the IDEA International Personal Trainer of the Year Award for the year 2003 and is currently the Chairman of the IDEA Personal Trainer Committee, an influential body steering important issues related to fitness professionals.
