About Greg! Gregory Anderson was born in Crooked River, Clarendon, a small town on the island of Jamaica. Greg’s parents, Herold and Eula went to the states when he was a very young child to pursue the American dream. He was raised by his grandmother in a very small modest home. Growing up with nature, animals, and the farm in the country, he enjoyed his childhood in the country as life was carefree. Life was always innocent as a child, with wonderful family members, the struggles of poverty and the hard day-to-day issues associated with life were non-existence to him and he will always be grateful to his family for that. When Eula and Herold got situated in the United States, Gregory came to live with them, he came to the states at the young age of eight years old, arriving in New York and seeing snow for the first time, which was quite an interesting experience, to say the least... Not knowing much, he tried his best to adapt to the American culture. There was a lot of judgment and ridicule for not knowing the American life by his peers, however, he quickly adopted and began to go to school. As a younger teen, the presence of the inner city of Boston had some temporary negative influences, but he did not let that stop him. There were some hick-ups along the way, but he acquired his associate's degree from Roxbury Community College. The next stop was UMass Boston, where he completed a Bachelor's Degree and that was not enough for Greg as school was one of his dear and true passions. As he knew that education could not be taken away like material possessions. He also wanted to make sure he made his parents very proud as they have dedicated their entire lives to him and his brothers. He decided to pursue a master’s program in which he completed a double master acquiring an MBA, and an (MSF) Masters in Science and Finance.
