Gregg started playing music at the age of 6. By the age of 15 he was a professional musician & producer, it was at this time he also discovered his passion for photography and film. He moved to NYC in 1988 to pursue Music, Art, Film and Philanthropy and have been immersed in the business for 20 years from television to film. In these twenty years he has perfected the art of editing and cinematography as shown in his latest documentary "May I Be Frank." It was on this movie, that Gregg brought in Alexandra as co-editor. His purpose in this lifetime is being part of a movement of people who bring us back to who we really are. His way is through the many gifts of film production.
Accompishments: Aside from playing with more famous and important artists than one could ever dream of imagining, here's the list: Court musician to Napoleon Bonaparte, personal guitar player for Genghis Khan, chief boy toy for Queen Cleopatra, head chopper in charge of castrating wack poets for eunuch duty in Lagash circa 21st century B.C., Traveling lute man for Alexander the Great (patented the 5 chord Gallop technique while on horse back!), beat boxer for the opening ceremony of the Pyramid of Giza hosted by the spirit of King Khufu.
As an executive minion (a.k.a. intern) my duties include but are not excluded to running the company from the inside and then being stripped of credit, filming EVERYTHING, editing EVERYTHING. I RUN THIS COMPANY BUT AM TOO EVIL TO BE THE FRONT MAN. We needed an innocent pretty face, hence Alex Liss, aka clueLiss. If you have any important questions you can run them through her to me. Thanks. Peace (actually not so much but okay).
Official sign painter of the wild, wild west. Learned how to use a lettering quill at the young age of 11 1/2 months.
