Greg Dorchak was born in Virginia and grew up in The Adirondacks of New York State. He later returned to the Hampton Roads area, where he finished high school.

Dorchak lives in Austin with his wife. He paints whimsical art for the average person, putters, and enjoys working on his car every now and again.
