More about Gregory“Twenty-three years ago, Family Man started for two reasons. One was because I felt more at home in being a dad than perhaps anything I had previously done in my life. As a writer, I wanted to speak about my experiences — the chaos, the absurd humor, the letdowns, and the little victories — to connect with other parents who might be going through similar things.”
