Early life and education

Greg grew up an only child in Las Vegas where he was raised by his father who was a police officer, and his mother who was teaching at a local high school. He became interested in politics at the age of 11 after watching related shows on TV together with his father, and he dreamed about becoming the first black senator of Nevada.

Greg attended Rancho High School where he started playing basketball for his school’s team, and upon matriculation enrolled at the University of Portland, becoming the best freshman player in Oregon. He soon switched to study at the University of Nevada, where he began playing for the Runnin’ Rebels team who went on to defeat The Duke Blue Devils at the 1990 NCAA Championship. In the following game, Greg broke his jaw but went on to play nearly all the games of the season. When HBO decided to make the movie “Runnin’ Rebels of UNLV”, Greg was invited to appear in it.

While at college Greg spent his summers working, with his first job being at the World Economic Summit, while he also had his own clothing business while attending second year, and the money earned from it was enough for Greg to pay for his college. In 1989, he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in political science.

Greg’s problems with the authorities

On 16 January 2015, Greg offered $80 to an undercover police officer who was pretending to be a prostitute, and was arrested and charged for soliciting a prostitute.

He was not allowed to work at CBS for over a year, resuming work in March 2016 while the court decided that Greg should do 32 hours of voluntary work and be on probation for four months for the charges to be dropped. His marriage with Chere was tested by this, but the two still remained together.
