Following his graduation he served in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War as a medic. After his honorable discharge he returned to Illinois, where he drove semi before becoming a Deputy Sheriff with the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Department. After 3 years he returned to driving semi, this time for Air Products and Chemicals out of LaSalle. Due to health issues he retired from this position in 2007.

While in Northfield, Gregg had time for his 2 favorite hobbies, raising guppies and pigeons. He was interested in genetics and with both the Birmingham Roller pigeons and his several tanks of guppies he would breed for different color and traits.
