Space, Media & Entertainment Advisor
Greg Clary is GTGs Space, Media & Entertainment Advisor. From being a production assistant on Miami Vice to working with NASA and Boeing on the latest Starliner Documentary, Gregory Clary has had nearly forty years of incredible media service and success.
Truly a product of the “Space Race”, Gregory is the affable result of the marriage between a veteran ER nurse and NASA’s “Employee Number Thirty-five”. Growing up “across the river” from the Kennedy Space Center, Mr. Clary watched history unfold as the Apollo program changed the global space game.
In fact, Gregory’s early background with space has kept him intersecting with projects at NASA and other space pioneers throughout his entire professional life.
Blessed with a strong will (and formerly a physique that matched), Greg attended Florida State University, on scholarship, where he graduated in three years, earning cum laude status, carrying a double major; literature and media production.
Thanks to an introduction from Michael Mann, Gregory pivoted to the West Coast, leaving Florida and the launch pads behind to pursue his dream of film and media. Working with Time and Look magazine’s Zinn Arthur, Greg developed, produced and wrote the pilot for PBS’ critically acclaimed television series, American Masters.
From there, Gregory rode the MTV wave as Kurt Loder’s lead researcher and later as a location producer for live shows and MTV’s sponsored concerts tour.
After writing stints for Neal Moritz (Juice, The Fast and The Furious Franchise), Kathleen Kennedy (President of Lucasfilm – Walt Disney), Blake Hunter (Who’s the Boss?, Diff’rent Strokes) and the Creative Artist Agency, Gregory found himself riding the DOTCOM wave, ultimately working as a Writer and Associate Producer on Steven Spielberg’s Director’s Chair.
After gratefully getting his toes wet in the digital pond, Gregory would reteam with Steven and his new partner, Bill Gross, to write and help brand Knowledge Adventure’s highly successful children’s JumpStart edutain-ment series. Gregory also was the project lead and co-designer for the Internet’s first online theme park, Adventureland, and the World Wide Web’s first interactive art museum, Digital MOCA.
From there, Gregory returned to his “roots” by helping NASA enter the twenty-first Century, and their “post Space Shuttle” era, plying the newest in educational technologies online with their unparalleled footage and enormously untapped archives.
Today, Mr. Clary is developing a feature film on The Gershwin Brothers, while working with Dr. Douglas Vanderbilt of the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles to produce animated shorts, advocating youth-oriented physical and mental health.
