The Story Behind the Nickname:
“I guess you could say, I’m not your average college student,” says Gregory. “I’m actually an Army veteran. After nine years in the military I decided I wanted to do something different with my life. As an Army paramedic in the First Infantry, I was always instructing fellow soldiers on combat skills and injuries. I realized that educating others comes naturally to me. What better way to translate that into another job than to teach science and math? As they say in the Army, ‘hooah!’ I’m excited to start this new chapter in my life.”
