ABOUT GREG
Gregâs Journey
Â
Greg, originally from Tucson, AZ, now resides in Phoenix, AZ, with his wife, Kim. They have been married since 1997 and work together daily in their businesses. Tragically, they lost their only child, Narissa, as a full-term stillborn in 2000, and were unable to have other children. Greg also experienced the loss of another full-term stillborn, Ashley, in a previous relationship. With no children of their own, they dedicated over 11 years to volunteering with Big Brother/Big Sister, graduating from the program in 2016 when their âlittlesâ turned 18.
Before diving into entrepreneurship and real estate full-time, Greg built a successful career in corporate America. Starting as a teenager at McDonaldâs in 1983, he advanced to general manager by 1986 at the age of 19. He continued climbing the ranks and eventually became a training consultant for the west division, where he helped franchisees and their management teams optimize restaurant systems throughout the southwest. Known for his passion for systems, Greg retired from corporate America in 2002 to focus on creating and running his own businesses and investing in real estate.
As an 'achiever,' Greg initially made significant sacrifices and appeared successful to the outside world. However, everything changed with the 'Great Recession,' leading to bankruptcy and starting over from scratch on April 12, 2011. Determined not to repeat past sacrifices, Greg set out to discover a way to achieve financial freedom and to thrive across all areas of life simultaneously.
Through his journey, Greg discovered statistics showed only about 10% of all entrepreneurs ever really achieve the success they desire regardless of their sacrifices. It was also interesting to learn that they didnât rely on working harder, getting up earlier, or just managing their time meticulously. Instead, they excelled by mastering effective skills, strategies, and systems that enhanced every aspect of their life.
Greg simply copied what the most successful did and over the next nine years, he reached financial freedom, built and managed multiple businesses, invested in real estate across multiple states, revitalized his marriage, improved his health, forged meaningful friendships, traveled extensively around the world, and enjoyed life to its fullest.
Greg now dedicates his efforts to helping entrepreneurs thrive more and sacrifice less. He founded and is the Executive Director of the Next-Level Success Institute sharing all the skills, strategies, and systems that the most successful use that can now be easily copied by anyone if they know them.Â
Why Is Greg Doing This?
Â
Greg's journey has been profoundly shaped by personal loss. He experienced the heartbreaking loss of his daughter, Ashley, a full-term stillborn from a previous relationship, and Narissa, also a full-term stillborn, with his wife Kim. Due to medical reasons, they were unable to have more children. For years, Greg channeled his energy into achieving professional success, focusing on his businesses and real estate.
However, when Greg turned 50, he faced the realization of the void in his life. Despite external success, he felt an emptiness and a deep longing to leave a meaningful legacy. He recognized that his life's purpose extended beyond running businesses and real estate ventures. This realization led him to set a transformative goal: to help one million people achieve their real estate dreams.
To mark this new chapter, Greg shared his vision through a video, reflecting his commitment to making a difference and creating a lasting impact.

Updated Legacy
Â
As Greg began helping people achieve their real estate goals, he noticed a troubling pattern: many were sacrificing various aspects of their lives in pursuit of financial success. Their dedication often left them with "no time" for anything else, a situation that deeply frustrated Greg because he knew there was a better way.
Drawing on his own experiences and the profound changes he made after his bankruptcy, Greg decided to change his mission to make a larger impact. He didn't just want help create financial success but rather how to live a 'life of success'. So he founded the Next-Level Success Institute.
When doing so, he revised his legacy vision to: Empowering Entrepreneurs with the skills, strategies, & systems to achieve next-level success sooner than they think. He now dedicates his life to this mission.

Â
When not coaching/mentoring or investing Greg and Kim love to travel. They have taken a 2-4 week vacation every quarter since 2012 and have seen the world having traveled throughout all 7 Continents and by car through all 50 states. When it comes to traveling, Greg always says "My favorite place to travel to is somewhere I have never been before".
Â
Greg loves creating 'special moments' and has a passion for reading, College sports (especially his Arizona Wildcats!), anything fun outdoors, hanging out with high minded individuals, and being a coach & mentor to Achievers that desire to transform into Thrivers enjoying success financially and in every area of life.Â
Bottom-line: Greg is passionate about helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams and live the fulfilling life they truly deserve.Â
