Greg was born on October 30, 1967 in Rockford, son of Nolan Rogers and Charlotte McDonald. He graduated from East High School.

Greg was a member of the Lombardi Club where he spent time socializing with many friends. He was an avid Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears and NASCAR fan. Greg’s favorite place to hangout was in his ever-expanding backyard man cave, watching a game and grilling for friends and family. He had a special love for his dogs, Lexie and Chewie.
