Meet Greg!

A kind and sporty 14-year-old. Upon meeting him, you can tell immediately that Greg is thoughtful and reserved. Once he gets to know you, his wonderful personality shines through. He is friendly, kind-hearted and FUN. Like all 14-year-olds, he can be silly and loves to be with his friends. He’s a loyal and supportive teen who values his friendships and enjoys goofing around with his buddies.

Greg is a natural athlete who loves spending time outdoors playing basketball, football, or riding bikes with friends. He’s also a big baseball fan, enjoying playing, watching, and collecting White Sox baseball cards. He even attended the Cubs v. Sox series this summer and had a blast! While a devoted Sox fan, he doesn’t discriminate against Cubs fans 😉 On rainy days, he enjoys his Pokemon cards, playing video games and his favorite board game, Monopoly!

Greg describes himself as funny, athletic, and curious, but he’s also incredibly intelligent! A true problem-solver, he excels at puzzles and working with his hands. Not surprisingly, he does great in math and science. He’s an animal lover, and German Shepherds are his “top dog.” So much so that he’s considering becoming a K9 officer when he grows up. Greg has been a responsible caregiver for pets and contributes around the house.
Greg is ready for his forever family and looks forward to spending quality time with them, whether they’re busy doing outdoor activities or catching up over some wings at his favorite place, Buffalo Wild Wings. He dreams of being part of a loyal, trustworthy, and caring family who can offer him support and guidance as he navigates his teenage years into adulthood.
