Who Is Greg Trimble?

I want to be a positive light in a sea of sadness. 

I write about business, religion, life, and just about anything else I find interesting. If you don’t like what I write…I hope we can still be friends!

I don’t think I’m special or unique. But I do care a lot, and try to do my best to become the best person I can become in this life. If you’re at all interested, I’ll share a few things about my background:

I am currently serving as the Mission President for the Australia, Brisbane South Mission. My wife and I feel extremely grateful to be able to serve the Lord, His missionaries, and the people of Australia at this time in our lives.

Early in my career, I founded Lemonade Stand, an Inc. 5000 online marketing agency that is now one of the fastest growing website and marketing agencies in the United States. I also founded a couple of software companies: Build Then Bless®, a fintech platform that improves the world through one micro-interaction at a time, and Yalla, a team management and collaboration tool that is 100% dedicated to helping companies and organizations work better together.

A few of the books I’ve published include: The Virtual Missionary, The Cultural Evolution Inside of The Church, The Missionary Special Forces, and  Divine Orchestration: The Story of the Millennial Choirs & Orchestras. 

I’ve enjoyed speaking and teaching at BYU’s Education Week on the importance of helping those who feel like they’re on the outside come back to Church. I’ve volunteered as a religious institute teacher at UCR (University California Riverside) for 4 years, a seminary teacher for high school students for 2 years, and have tried to serve others to the best of my ability in any other capacities I’ve been asked to serve in.

I’ve served on the Editorial Board for BYU Studies, the Board of Directors for The Millennial Choirs & Orchestras, and the Gifted Music School, and assist many other faith based groups in their various missions to strengthen faith in God.

There are so many things I want to do and there is so little time in the day to do them. I fight the necessity of sleep. Always have and probably always will. I’m relentless when it comes to figuring something out. I cant help it. I don’t like wasting time. When it’s all said and done, I want to be known as a creator instead of a consumer.

I’m passionate about my family, my religion, and building organizations. I have great parents and was taught to look for those who are struggling or less fortunate and help them.

I spent much of my youth at the beach surfing in my teenage years. I dropped a college baseball scholarship and interest from MLB scouts at the age of 21 during a fork-in-the-road-decision to go on a mission for my church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You might have thrown something at me as I rode my bike past you. If you didn’t throw something at me, then you might of at least made fun of my dorky looking helmet. It’s all good. I’m not mad. The thing is, my mission changed my life. I don’t know where I’d be without that experience. I could not have learned in a hundred years what I learned in two years on my mission. I have no way of articulating the things my eyes saw and the experiences I had.

Above all, I love God and my family. I love to write and hope that something I say helps someone have a better day. I just want to do some good in this crazy world. So I write. And hope it makes a difference.

Thanks for reading…
