greg brisendineGreg is a 25 year Seattle resident who believes this is where he belongs. He took an acting class some years ago, got to act in some plays, and then started thinking he should write some. In 2016 he co-produced his first full-length play, The Hat. That experience was so awesome that in 2017 he produced another of his plays, No Strings Attached. Both of those plays were developed at Parley and in 2018 Greg took a sabbatical from Parley to write a non-fiction book. In 2019 he self-published Measuring Success: A Practical Guide to KPIs. Greg’s non-fiction work and his years of writing poetry both influence his plays. He’s also a super-nerd for fantasy novels and has a corporate job that he actually kind of likes.
