When Skateboarder Magazine was re-issued in 1975 (after 10 years of being defunct), Gregg was featured on the cover of its inaugural re-issue and the magazine used to receive more fan mail for Gregg than any other skater.[2] Gregg was nicknamed 'The Cadillac Kid' on account of his sponsorship by Frank Nasworthy who owned Cadillac Wheels.
Gregg now lives in Huntington Beach, California.
