- Greg Lindstrom Bio
Greg Lindstrom spends his days programming computers for a large corporation but his real life starts after work when he gets to play the tuba, which he has been doing for well over 50 years. He plays in a number of groups in and around central Arkansas and is currently taking music lessons from Dr. Gail Robertson at the University of Central Arkansas where he is an active member of the UCA tuba/euphonium studio. Perhaps the highlight of his musical career came in June 2023, when he was invited to play a half recital at the International Tuba Euphonium Conference held in Tucson, Arizona. When he's not programming computers or playing the tuba, he enjoys solving crossword puzzles and cryptograms, reading about WW2 history (particularly spy craft and codebreaking) and spending time with his lovely wife, D'Ann. He holds a master’s degree in computational mathematics and both he and D'Ann are licensed amateur (ham) radio operators.
