Greg is a pioneer of social app development and has been actively developing for the Facebook platforms since 2007. You could say he was ahead of his time, leading the development and release of more than 20 Facebook applications that have reached a combined total of over 100 million users. Greg’s accolades include launching Tall Tree Games which became one of the first companies to offer virtual currency and reward systems on Facebook.

In 2008, Tall Tree Games developed and released YoVille, a virtual world complete with avatar and character design, later sold to Zynga which was the basis for one of Facebook’s most popular games: FarmVille.

The year 2009 saw the launch of FishWorld, where Greg invented the first Fish Tank genre of social/mobile games. FishWorld has been played by over 40 million users around the world and continues to have a strong following many years later.

In 2011, Tall Tree Games became Big Viking Games and the success story continues.
