As a child of the 80s, Greg always loved TV, movies, comics, video games and soundtracks. In his teens, this love turned into a full on obsession.

He still dreams about his own television series and/or to write and direct for the big screen. Until then, Gregor works as a teacher with a master’s degree in English Literature, History and Media Studies and plays as much D&D as possible.
