At the age of eighteen, Greg moved to London, moving in with a Turkish family who were boiling sugar, refining it into the paste used for centuries for hair removal. Within a few years, Greg began studying under renowned pastry chef Ewald Notter, who taught him to spin and pull sugar. Combining these two experiences, Greg opened Downtime Massage & Skincare.
