Gregg Moon was
born in the summer of 1963 in Fort Worth Texas. All through his
growing up years he was raised on Elvis, among other music artists ,but
mainly Elvis through his movies and his music. Gregg's mother, Donna
was a huge fan of Elvis's.
In July 18 1976 Gregg's parents took him to see
his first Elvis concert at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth
Texas. What a great night to remember for young Gregg to cherish , as a
lasting memory and to be able to hand that memory down to his kids and
grandkids in life.
Gregg and his family enjoyed the
concert so much that when they heard in 1977 that Elvis was appearing again
in their area they were making arrangements to see him again. Little did
Gregg and his family know that they would soon find out that day would never
come.

In June of 2004,Gregg went to a fest and hot rod show.....where he watched
and Elvis impersonator by the name of Carlton Hurtle. When Gregg realized
that a 2nd calling had grasped his heart..... to become an Elvis
Impersonator. It is something he wanted to pursue...so he bought a jumpsuit
and all the accessories it took to pursue a new craft..... paying
tribute to the King Of Rock and Roll.

In the true Elvis spirit, Gregg and his wife Patricia
renewed their vows in the "A Elvis Chapel" in Vegas. It was the first
time the Elvis Chapel had a groom dressed as Elvis. It created a
great deal of excitement which lead to Gregg spending two hours just signing
autographs and having their pictures taken back at their Hotel.
Gregg has performed for several family and friend's
functions and competed April 9 2005 in the South Central Elvis
Impersonators Competition and Spring Fest in Monroe, Louisiana. He has
performed in several clubs in the area also.
Gregg donates a lot of his time to the Fort
Worth Children's Hospital and various nursing homes, performing and
signing autographs to his fans.
Gregg is a new Tribute artist who has already made many friends on his
journey and made new fans. Yet he has never lost the reality of what life
really is and the great things he has achieved along the way, and with the
new goals to achieve in the future.
Gregg realizes the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley still lives on in the
people's hearts, minds and souls!
