About
I fell in love with the beautiful country and people of Morocco and decided to use my skills to launch an initiative to highlight the Very Best of Morocco – Gregory
My goal is to provide tourists with opportunities to experience the Very Best of Morocco as well as meet, interact with and provide income for the talented, hard working and kind local community.

“Cooking, eating and drinking wine brings me great joy and is a creative outlet that also combines delicious cultural flavors, and conversations into an always memorable experience.”
My well traveled gourmet cooking mom taught my sister and I how to cook. She also impressed upon us too enjoy and appreciate the preparation of fresh food and drinking wine in a casual environment with family, friends and guests.
I have been most inspired by chefs Fredy Giradet and Charlie Trotter as well as numerous others.

I am an American living who loves to cook and entertain people in my home. My family has lived in the USA for over 360 years and my ancestry consists of the fusion of African, Irish, Mexican, Itakapa & Blackfoot Native American and French.
I am currently the Co-Founder of Wild Idea Research and Development (WIRD) https://weirdworld.xyz, a technology and media for Social Impact company. I am also a former Silicon Valley Corp Unix & Linux Engineering Systems Manager.
My media, technology and education work has taken me to Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Israel, Jordan, Palestine, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Uganda and Tanzania where I worked for one of my my personal heroes, primatologist and chimpanzee expert, Dr. Jane Goodall.
I have also had the great fortune to work on two movies for and with another personal hero Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and Mindfulness expert Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in France, Germany, and the USA. I am also an award-winning filmmaker who has been invited to speak on United Nations panels in New York and Vienna, at Stanford University and at the Googleplex in Mountainview Calif.
Hosting guests in my Marrakech RIAD (I am an Airbnb Superhost), walking in the Marrakech Medina, meeting my favorite local people and vendor brings me great joy.
Traveling, meeting people, cooking with great cooks, eating a variety of local foods and drinks and learning about various cultures has impacted my thought process, my cooking and my life in a profound way.
