As both a successful franchise executive and a successful franchisee, Greg understands the complexities of corporate life, and the stress and demands as a franchise operator. He was described by one of his franchisees as a "franchisee in a corporate suit". Greg's interest in co-brand integration started while he was a consultant with Allied Domecq. Greg was part of the complementary day-part branding task force to figure out how to successfully combine Dunkin' Donuts, Baskin Robbins, and TOGO's Sandwiches together under one roof. Greg took what he learned, and engineered Topper’s Craft Creamery to succeed specifically as a complementary brand.

Greg also is available to speak and consult to help franchise brands successfully add and/or become a complementary brand. Greg is a thought leader expert in the area of complementary day part branding, co-branding, multi-branding, brand pairing, and brand sharing. Greg's fondest memories are his start in ice cream during his summers in Indiana, working at his grandparent's sundries soda fountain, serving old fashioned ice cream sodas crafted with flavored syrup and soda water, then a scoop of ice cream. They sold for $.10. His first job in high school was at Bressler's 33 flavors at the age of 15, scooping ice cream, and realizing that he loved serving people, and that everybody loves ice cream.
