Speaker/Volunteer
A noted speaker and writer on exotic pet topics, Greek is a contributing author to Reptile magazine and is often quoted in numerous lifestyle magazines. He is also a popular speaker at veterinary conferences and herpetological societies. One of his favorite activities is to speak at local high schools and organizations about his passion for veterinary medicine, and to encourage children to pursue their dreams. “It’s my goal to make sure I consistently share with students that by trying hard, staying focused and getting good grade, you can achieve your goals,” he said.

He also speaks annually at their Summer Nature Nights event and brings all sorts of critters owned by one of his clients who is a major supplier of animals for the hit television show, Fear Factor.
