Greg is a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and Men's Apparel designer for Heroes & Villains. Greg has been with Heroes & Villains since October of 2020. Greg is an avid player of tabletop roleplaying games and an active game master. Also a fan of comics, movies, and science fiction/fantasy novels, Greg can frequently be found hunting around in used book stores and old comic shops. Greg's favorite character is Superman, hands down. Though he is a power fantasy, Superman is not about getting in fights and beating people up. At his core, Superman is a fantasy about having all the power in the world so that you can help people. Help them change a tire, get a cat out of a tree, stop a flood, negotiate a truce with an alien civilization to avoid a war, so on and so forth. One of Greg's favorite colections is the D&D Vecna collection. Though it's a smaller collection, it's a deeper cut for Dungeons & Dragons, and focuses on a villain rather than the good guys.
