Greg Allard:  

Life I was born on 8/24/64 on a warm morning at Manchester Community Hospital in Connecticut. It was a Monday, a day like any other day. But I entered a new situation and must of thought "here I am.....okay...." I grew up in a little town called Willington about 30 minutes northeast of Hartford and a few minutes from UConn. I was a precocious kid and very happy until I was about 8. That's when my mother first got sick. After that I started questioning more about the purpose of life. No one in that little town seemed to have any answers for me. Though it sure seemed like a relevant question to me. Like before I do anything man, who the hell am I for starters?

I don't know where to start but suffice it to say I am very grateful for being surrounded by wonderful people. My wife Glani is from Brazil and is currently studying to be a nurse. She's a go-getter who works hard and loves all sorts of beauty, especially the ocean. Very pretty, intelligent and intense. Her and I make a dynamic team.
