He has performed many original studies and has presented these internationally in several different countries. He recently wrote a chapter for the prestigious biomechanical text “Biomechanics and Human Movement Science”.

Greg’s experience has seen him involved or collaborating research with several major athletic footwear companies including Asics, Nike, Salomon, and Sole Technology.
