More About Greg:

Memorable Money Moment:  I learned about savings goals from my younger brother, Andy. At the young age of 12, he decided that he wanted an electronic synthesizer. The sticker price was $2,195 -- and that was in 1987. To meet his goal, he got a paper route -- about the only job a 12-year-old could get. With a little financing help from my parents, he was able to purchase the synthesizer and went on to outfit a full music studio.

First Job: Short Order Cook at Nikko's Burgers in Corona, California.

Organizations that are important to me: L'Arche Tahoma Hope, Catherine's Place, Pacific Lutheran University.
