Greg's Story

Where to begin??? Oh yes....after High School!!! Well I tried to do the college thing. I went to SHSU (that was the first mistake..."party school"), and moved into a dorm that was right across the street from the most popular club in Huntsville (that was the second mistake). I was actually too young to get into the clubs at the time, but hey....that's what friends who know how to make fake ID's are for!!! ;-) I met some great people, but college just really wasn't where I wanted to be. I was there when the "Old Main" building burned down. I have a really cool photo that one of my friends took that night. So, back to the old neighborhood I came...now it was time to get a job!! I lucked out and got on with HL&P (as Steve Carter's dad would call it...Houston Looting and Plunder). I put my "extensive" knowledge of drafting (thank you Mr. O and Mr. D) to use and worked in the Engineering Dept as a Map Technician. That was a good place to get my foot in the door, but after 1 1/2 years it was time to go. I transferred into the Energy Production group (generating plants), and have been there since...27+ years. The company is now NRG En...Expand for more
ergy Texas. Right about the time I transferred, I got married and had two boys. We got divorced after about 6 years and she moved back to Louisiana with the boys. For the next 13 or so years, I made the trip to Beaumont every other weekend (Fri and Sun) to pick them up. When they turned 16, they were old enough to drive and started making the trip on their own...that was a happy time!! Right about the time I got divorced, I bought the house I'm in now, FINALLY bought myself a drumset, and went to town learning how to play. After 1 1/2 years of "disturbing" my neighbors, I got into a local rock cover band and started playing around town....FUN TIMES!!! Then around 2001, I quit the band (too much drama) and started running sound and lights for some of my old bandmates. I did that for a few years, and now ALL of my equipment (drums and PA/lights) sits idle in my garage. Who knows, one day I may get back into it...I'm starting to get the "itch" again!! So there you have it....sort of a long "short" version of my life since Waltrip. I'm not in a hurry to get anything specific done...just kind of taking life as it comes right now.
