F. A. Grieger is an aerospace engineer, entrepreneur, and businessman. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering, finance, and international business economics. A first-generation American, he has started and sold several businesses, has run two privately held companies, and has lived both in Europe and the United States. He is the youngest of seven children, speaks three languages, and is entirely devoted to his family. A proponent of self-reliance, he grew up in a small family business where he started working at age twelve. As a young man, he worked as a bartender, bouncer, shoe salesman, road-paving worker, commercial diver, offshore oil-rig roughneck, SCUBA instructor, security guard, house painter, roofer, draftsman, computer programmer, and mental health technician, all in the course of working his way through college and graduate school. His mother is his greatest inspiration. It was from his parents’ remarkable life-story of courage, survival, and perseverance through World War II where he learned that adversity does not build character but rather reveals it.
