Gregg Driese |
Gregg is an author, artist and songwriter. He began writing poems so he could create song lyrics for his bands, and later developed a taste for telling old yarns, especially around a campfire. His children love when he makes up a bedtime story—usually about the “Adventures of CAPTAIN WEIRD”, who is a guy that loves trying to help but only messes things up. As a teacher, Gregg loves creating stories to help students complete tasks. As an artist he has been drawing and enjoying art for as long as he can remember. He loves his father Rod’s art work, especially knowing that the retired mechanic started late in life. Gregg has been painting boomerangs and didgeridoos for many years, and his canvas work and murals helped get him through university. He's sold paintings to every continent of the world except Africa, and has won numerous awards. Gregg designed our fantastic MANTLE logo this year.
