The Story
In May of 2004, Gregg donated a kidney to his father Steve. Shortly after, Steve created the American Transplant Foundation to help reduce the transplant waiting list and save lives. In 2017 while playing their monthly Trivial Pursuit games as a family, Gregg thought about trying to incorporate trivia into fundraising for the foundation.
That same year he hosted the first annual Trivia for Life event with about 25 people, and the Traveling Trivialist was born. The event grew to well over 300 people in 2022 and 2023 and raised over $500,000. Gregg has since hosted corporate events for CBIZ, Hubble Electronics, and UBS and fundraisers for National Jewish Health, the Alzheimer’s Association of Westchester, and The Greenburgh Public Library.
Gregg has a BA from the University of Colorado and an MBA from the University of Southern California. He works in the real estate business when he is not hosting trivia events. He resides in White Plains, NY and loves traveling, tennis, skiing, and fly fishing.
