Our Staff

Greg grew up around the ministry of Adult & Teen Challenge and saw life transformation happen on a regular basis. God called Greg into full-time ministry when he was 16 years old, but followed his own path through the rest of high school and into college. Greg graduated from Memphis State University with a BBA in Management in 1992. After college, Greg was working for FedEx and was enrolled in their management training program when God revisited the call He had placed on Greg’s life. Greg immediately applied for Seminary Graduate school and in June of 2000, he graduated with a Master’s of Divinity Degree from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary.

Greg then served as the Dean of Students at Teen Challenge International Ministry Institute (TCIMI) in Jacksonville, Florida for 5 years. In December of 2005, God called Greg and his wife Ann and their young family to Griffin, Georgia to plant a Teen Challenge residential program for teen boys ages 13-17.

After 5 years as the founder and director of Teen Challenge Prayer Mountain Boys Academy, Greg joined the staff of Living Free in September of 2010 to become the Vice President of Operations. He became president of Living Free in January 2022. Greg enjoys spending time with his wife and family along with fishing. Greg loves seeing a life transformed by Christ and he believes anyone can be used by God to lead a Living Free support group bringing hope, faith, and freedom into the life of individuals, families, communities, and generations to come.
