- Gregg was born and raised in Pleasantville, NY. For undergraduate and graduate work, he attended The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in Baltimore, MD and received a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering. He also worked for JHU with The Instrument Development Group designing and building custom scientific instruments for nine years. In late 2008, he left JHU to start Flexure Engineering, an aerospace startup specializing in extreme environment engineering. With Gregg as President and Chief Engineer, Flexure began working with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to provide opto-mechanical and cryogenic engineering support for The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This part time contract grew into providing several full time engineers for the integration and testing team of JWST. Flexure won a division-level award from GSFC for the work they completed for JWST. Flexure’s work with cryogenics lead to a spinoff called XTherm which, in 2013, licensed composite insulation technologies from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) with the goal of commercialization. XTherm experienced funding challenges in late 2013 and Gregg moved to Sarasota, Florida to run a small automation company called Hilton Industries as General Manager. Hilton designs and builds capacitor winding machines for large companies such as GE and Siemens. Sarasota did not work well for the family and they moved back to the East Bay in February 2016. Upon arriving in California, Gregg started working as a Mechanical Engineer for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). After spending four years designing particle accelerator hardware, in February 2020, he transitioned to the Intellectual Property Office and currently works as a Senior Technology Commercialization Associate.
