Greg Nance has run 155 miles across the Gobi Desert in China and Mongolia, scaled some of the tallest mountains in the world by himself and is a startup founder of global non-profits and companies that he is growing from Shanghai China.
Be thankful he wasn’t at your 10 year high school reunion because he graduated from high school just a decade ago.
Stranded in a snowstorm on a mountain in his sleeping bag for 14 hours doing sit-ups to keep the blood moving.

To add to all of this, he’s also a 12 Ambassador to the Seattle Seahawks after the team learned of his commitment to watching the games from China. Spoiler, it involved him running 30 miles round trip to a sports bar at 4am to watch the games.
