Greg Stock is a husband, surfer, educator, story-teller, smoothie lover, coffee lover, who plays the Gamelan and likes hanging in hammocks.
Born central Minnesota USA, Greg is the youngest of six children. Ice Hockey, Baseball and Football filled many hours in his formative years, as did working and playing on his grandparent’s dairy farms.
His elementary and high school teachers included many Benedictine nuns and monks from a local abbey and convent, and he was inspired from an early age by their values of self-sufficiency, simplicity, and social justice.
His university studies brought him to both St. Paul, Minnesota and the University of Vienna, Austria. He majored in both English and German and discovered an affinity for numerous German philosophers and the ethic of practical idealism.
The ensuing decade found him at various locales such as teaching in Jamaica, working in outdoor education in Minnesota, driving city bus in Oregon, serving as a host at a mountaineering base camp in California, and studying in India.
For the past two decades, he has worked as a high school Literacy, Social Studies, and Physical Education teacher in both Bali and Hawaii. He holds graduate degrees from the University of Hawaii in Asian Studies and Library/Information Sciences.
From the moment I met Greg, I was immediately drawn to his warmth, kindness and approachable demeanor. He is one of those people who walks into a room and you just kind of feel like everything is going to be alright. He is a big man, with a big heart. In fact, he is so big, a Stand-up Paddle Board is his go-to option… the Ocean is Greg’s happy place.

On this week’s episode, Greg is with me to share his journey, experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future.
