Gregory Allen Badersnider graduated from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. After more than 40 years in the insurance business, he decided to follow his passion and write full-time. In his decades in insurance he learned to listen deeply, to grasp what people were really saying, and to uncover the stories beneath the surface. Now he channels those gifts into his writing, blending that rich life experience with a grounded, reflective viewpoint. His style is friendly, relaxed and approachable — he prefers honesty over grandiosity, and he writes as though you’re sitting across the table sharing a conversation. His reflections leave room for your own memories and thoughts alongside his, inviting you in rather than lecturing. With a voice that is genuine and welcoming, Gregory tells stories that feel familiar and real, rooted in simple truths rather than flashy claims.
