 Greg was born July 2, 1954 in Frederick, Maryland to Aleck Grant (AG) and Wilma King and raised in Mauldin, SC. He graduated from Hillcrest High School in 1972, where he played football and baseball. Early on he learned the family brick mason trade. After moving to Lexington in 1977, he went to work at Southern Bell as a telephone operator and line crew worker, eventually becoming an award-winning telephone system salesman for AT&T/Lucent Technologies. In 1996 Greg decided to open his own retail store, hence the creation of Jade Moon Trunks and Treasures in Triangle City, West Columbia. His inventory soon expanded to include mopeds, four-wheelers and motorcycles. He was very proud of this successful business that he and his wife ran together. Greg was an avid golfer and loved playing a round at Hidden Valley Golf Course. He also enjoyed traveling and riding motorcycles.
