Meet the Resident Greg Meet Greg – From Farm Boy to Lawyer, A Life Well Lived My name is Greg. I was born in Brisbane but spent my early years growing up on farms around Eumundi and Nambour. Those days left me with some of my fondest
childhood memories — time spent with my dogs and horses, and holidays by the sea at beautiful Mooloolaba. Life on the land taught me the value of hard work, connection to nature, and the joy of simple pleasures. Eventually, I returned to Brisbane to pursue my tertiary education. I studied at university and went on to practise law for around 45 years in this great city. It was a challenging but deeply rewarding career that shaped much of who I am today. Outside of work, I’ve always enjoyed gardening, exercise, radio and television, and socialising. I especially cherish the time I spend with my partner Annie and my family — they’re the heart of my life. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received was to “follow your own dreams and enjoy everything you do — especially your work.” I’ve tried to live by that, and I truly believe that life is what you make of it. If you can find joy in the everyday and treat others with kindness, you’re on the right path.
