Greg Richter

Greg Richter has spent 30-plus years as a newspaper and online journalist. He also has written spiritual essays online and in the newspapers where he was worked in his native Alabama. He loves history and lives with his wife and pets in a farmhouse built by his German immigrant grandparents in the 1880s. He has driven a 1957 Chevrolet pickup truck since college.

He sometimes writes under the pen name "Owen Tew," which he got while watching Vin Scully call baseball games: The count was 0 and 2.
