In addition to theatre work, Gregg designs galleries and exhibits, and authored a best-selling manual called Light Plot Deconstructed about using Vectorworks, a 2d/3d CAD software package, in theatrical practice. He is an active member of United Scenic Artists of America Local 829, the union for professional theatrical designers, is head of the Theatre program at Randolph-Macon College, and, in his copious free time, is a certified cycling coach and cycling skills instructor who averages about 100 miles a week on a bicycle.
