- 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.
