Greg played in the Northeast Ohio International Soccer League, for the Greek Team with his brother Mike, and his hometown village friends from Nestorio, Greece. He said that his greatest memory, even though they lost in the finals, was when the NEO Greek team made it to the International Soccer League Championship Game. Greg often loved traveling to Greece to visit his friends and loved ones.
