Greg Walsh has walked upright down a path of resistance for most of his life. The discovery of BMX bike riding and hardcore music in early adolescence derailed the train of convention and sparked a love affair with the underground that continues to burn strong. Through patience and perseverance, he began to make marks of his own within counterculture and has never looked back.
Writing intertwined itself with all his successes and setbacks, and has served as chronicle to the strange and often dangerous occurrences that were never far behind. Greg’s storytelling has been both catharsis and corruptor; If any resolution was found, it has never been without shining harsh light into dark corners, and forcing himself to look.
Those very same unconventional outlooks and subversive sensibilities have also played key roles in the development of Wolf Brigade’s unique and effective methods of strength and conditioning.
Resourcefulness in all realms was hard-learned, any advancement was hard-earned, and every early step was both daunting and vitally important. As unpredictable as it may have been, entering the strength world from action sports and martial arts allowed for a preconceived-notion-free process of program design and system engineering.
Describing his relationship with BMX, hardcore, training, and storytelling as anything but a love affair would be a vast understatement; Each has been its own vicious and driving force, and no stone is ever left unturned in the pursuit of progress.
Strength in solitude and clarity in defiance were to be the most valuable lessons any culture or character could teach him, even as steep as the learning curve often was; While both Greg and Wolf Brigade are relatively new to many eyes, both have been developing in the dark since the turn of the millennium.
Now rounded out both physically and philosophically with decades of martial arts, strength training, and teaching, Greg strives to maintain the proverbial spirit of eternal youth, and the worlds he has shown the ability to link together are proof that even as much as some things change, the most important ones stay the same.
Driven by discontent- but never limited by it- Greg continues to scheme, write, subvert, struggle, and progress, and provokes many others into doing the same.
He currently lives and works on the east side of Rochester, New York.
