On June 17, 1991, he married Lynda Halstead of Idaho Falls. Greg and Lynda made their home in Idaho Falls, they had one daughter, Kaylee, and one stepdaughter, Allyson. They were later divorced.
He loved the outdoors and regularly went fishing, hunting, and camping. He loved bowling, golfing, dancing, and rodeo. He always wanted to go on adventures. He loved watching NASCAR and attended the races in Las Vegas, Nevada, several times. Once he set his mind to something, he didn't stop until he achieved it.
