The team is excited to have the Northern California native now a member of their team as they believe he will mesh very well with the mid-west group of guys.

“We are very stoked about the 2010 season and very excited about being able to have Greg join the program. We have very high expectations for this year and we feel he will definitely help fulfill those!”
