Gregore was born and raised in Vancouver Canada surrounded by loving parents who supported his creative endeavors . His parents had their own many talents one in art and sports, the other business.

 They let their two sons explore whatever interested them. Creativity was always high on the list of daily activities, the freedom to wander the whole day entertained  by creating worlds unto themselves, conquering  construction projects in the backyard creek, to  reverse engineering their toys, (taking them apart to the chagrin of their parents), just to see how they worked. Sadly not many toys made it back together again.  Gregore never seemed to waste a moment, even packing in creative activities into every day chores. The daily walk to and from  school he whittled so many figurines he left a permanent trail of woodchips in his path, many a kitchen knife went missing during this era.

His love of art was also nurtured by a deep sense of connection to artists of the past to present, from comic book art to those who made the magnificent Haida Totem poles of his British Columbia countryside.  

 In high school a metal working class led to an interest in machining and jeweley. It was a synchronistic event that his neighbor offered him an apprenticeship in the fine art of jewelry design. 

It was at a jewelry store in Santa Barbara, where he now lives, that he began to nurture the possibilities of design, it was also where he met his future wife Jennifer. His sense of design went through  a massive growth because he was inspired by the multitude of famous designers who had left designs behind. He spent hours nightly, drawing by using their ideas as inspiration which led to his own insights about what makes good design. It was here that his distinctive style was born and Gregore won the first of many design awards.

Today Gregore’s voracious appetite for new ideas, experimentation, exquisite detail and his innate playfulness are sharply reflected in his magnificent jewelry designs and object d’art.

‘It’s about a pursuit of the art of jewelry. I will even invent a tool to satisfy my curiosity.’
