Greg Forbes Siegman — and his Forrest Gump-like journey from
college reject to honored graduate to substitute teacher to young
philanthropist — serves as the real-life inspiration for The
First Thirty by Jillip Naysinthe Paxson. The First
Thirty was honored as Northeast Student Diversity Leadership
Conference 2007 Multicultural Relations Book of the Year. Best
known for his civic efforts, Greg has received honors such as the
Jefferson Award for Public Service. He was honored at Princeton
University as one of America’s top social entrepeneurs under 40. He
has been featured by media such as “Good Morning America,” “College
News” and “USA Today.“ Greg also writes regularly for newspapers
and magazines around the country. Throughout the year, he speaks
about diversity, service, philanthropy — and exploring those
interests while in college — at schools around North America. He is
also an artist. His collection, My Sleepless Nights, has
been featured in Art World News and exhibited around North America.
