Gregg was born November 7, 1946, in Seattle, WA, the son of Mayne Clarence and Sayde Josephine (Swindeck) Mjelde. He graduated from West Seattle High School in 1965 and furthered his education at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, graduating with a bachelor's degree in fine arts in 1969. Gregg served in the United States Navy and was honorably discharged in 1970. On May 5, 1972, he was united in marriage to Linda Janell Keen at the First Lutheran Church in West Seattle, WA. To this union, two children were born, Brett and Fara.
Gregg was a devoted member of Memorial Lutheran Church in Nevada. He loved to sing, play guitar and was an accomplished oil painter.
