Greg Abbott (not to be confused with the Governor of Texas) has been a successful entrepreneur and investor: building the U.S.’s largest private label underwear, pantyhose, and T-shirt company; ushering in the internet revolution with EarthLink; creating The Answer, which won the WorldStar President’s Award as “the world’s most significant food & beverage packaging innovation.” A one-time scratch golfer and New York marathoner, who will sing and play the piano for any woman who will listen, he is a graduate of Choate, Princeton, and the Canaan Federal Penitentiary. He is the author of Sheer Pressure, Sheer Madness and United States vs. Abbott et al. A Love Story.
