His fifteen minutes of fame include ringing the opening bell at the American Stock Exchange and an appearance on Good Morning America explaining the art and science of sous vide cooking.

He currently resides in the Washington DC area where he is the co-owner of the Medium Rare group of restaurants and is a board member of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC).
Cool Breeze, or Tom, organizes his thoughts and journey on the Appalachian Trail in a reader-friendly manner that draws you into each page and makes you realize that a non-traditional thru-hike is every bit as rewarding as the standard trail experience. By traveling the entire 2,190 mile length of the footpath in a calculated itinerary of day hikes - with van support, Cool Breeze reveals the option, and advantages, of slackpacking and shares them with the reader. Regardless of whether you are an armchair adventurer or the type of backpacker who totes an iron skillet, you will enjoy vicariously living through Cool Breeze's adventures. And, some readers will realize that their dream of tasting or completing the Appalachian Trail may be a viable option... with support. -- Jennifer Pharr Davis A.T. Record Holder, Best-Selling Author, National Geographic Adventurer of the Year With A Cool Breeze on the Appalachian Trail, Tom Gregg has put together a timely, valuable and entertaining guide to supported thru-hiking. This style of hiking allows people to enjoy America's long trails with less effort and in less time than ever before, and in this book, Tom has encapsulated all you need to know. Bravo! -- Scott Cundy Owner and Co-Founder of Wildland Trekking Every true athlete appreciates the mental and emotional journey as much, if not more than the physicality of the path they have chosen. That journey is never alone, and if you are fortunate you achieve a better understanding of yourself, family and friends. Tom's book reveals that path and by doing so, allows us to share in the beauty as well. -- DeMaurice Smith Executive Director, NFL Players' Association
