About Greg Wilson:

Curls out of: Chicago Curling Club

In his own words: "I started curling in the 1970s with my father. After work he would take me to the club to play one-on-one with him. I am a third generation curler in the Chicago area. Most of my family curls. My wife, mom, dad and I have been to two Mixed Nationals together and are still curling in leagues together."

What he enjoys most about curling: "The lasting friendships I have made in the past 28 years are what I enjoy the most about curling."
