He is a also a husband and a father who has lived in Tulsa for 19 years, all of which have been in Midtown.
In Brookside, Greg likes the accessibility of parks, the entertainment, restaurants, running on Riverside. He really likes Whole Foods, a natural and organic food grocery store. For his kids he enjoys the new QuikTrip playground at Riverside and 41st Street. He likes the “aesthetic of the old restless ribbon,” a nickname given to the stretch of Peoria in Brookside.
Klaus would like to see some new churches in the neighborhood, since the church he attends is not in Brookside.
Greg has two sons, one 9, the other almost 7. He and his family are TU football season ticket holders. They try to make it to all of the home games, but since his son's sports are sometimes are at the same time, “we go when we can.”
Recently, Greg has been playing at the Church at Battle Creek, playing solo acoustic shows and filling in with the band “Dante and the Hawk.” In the past, his bands have won awards, recorded albums, (one, for “Mudville Project,” in Nashville), released CDs, played at various music festivals including South by Southwest, The Woodie Guthrie Folk Festival and D-Fest.
Greg has a master's in industrial and organizational psychology from The University of Tulsa and his undergraduate from NSU, Tahlequah, in psychology.
