Greg Hammond has enjoyed working for Concept2 since 1996. He is based out of our HQ in Vermont and works in marketing mainly with action sports athletes, the military as well as CrossFit and the more mainstream professional sports like NFL, NBA, and mixed martial arts. His degree is in health science and he has been involved in sports hid whole life. Some of the sports Greg has enjoyed over the years run the gamut from x-c running, Nordic skiing and rugby in college to snowboarding, mountain biking, and motocross. He started CrossFit in 2007 after listening to Greg Glassman and Dave Castro explaining CrossFit at a seminar at a navy base in San Diego and never looked back. Working with athletes and people that hold health in high regard is what he enjoys most.
