Greg's life mission statement focuses on his life passion, which is “to strengthen the great leaders, ideas and organizations of our time so the kingdom causes of Christ can be exponentially accelerated.” He is the CEO of Convene, which helps hundreds of Christian CEO’s meet regularly in small groups to live out their faith intentionally as they combine their love for business with the love for biblical truth.
His career spans corporate Fortune 500 enterprises, franchise operations, non-profit and associations and academic sectors. Greg has served the persecuted church with food, brought relief and created long-term jobs in Orissa, India, assisted faith-based mission agencies in China with mission and strategy, planted house churches in Nepal, helped envision and begin a School of Journalism in Haiti and crisscrossed Canada for over a decade teaching and helping thousands of marriages. He’s spoken around the world from Beijing, China to Cambridge University in England.
Greg is married to the love of his life, Shelley Leith who often strengthens, rescues and blesses him while keeping him grounded in God’s truth. Their marriage is not perfect but is a God-shaped blending of two forgivers.
Shelley and Greg love leading intentionally in their family and attempted to create a family and home that is a grace-filled safe refuge on most days as well as a place full of forgiveness when they miss God’s mark. They’ve managed to break a multi-generational chain of divorces and have been married for almost 40 years. They are currently working on moving from mom to mentor and father to friend to their five children and three daughters-in-law. Their current empty nest is located in Southern California close to the canyons and foothills of south Orange County.
Greg frequently writes on life and faith at work. His work can be found in publications around the world such as Christianity Today, Washington Times, Rick Warren’s Pastors.com, Biola Magazine, Church Executive magazine, Orange Country Register, Generous Giving and Family Life.
