Gregg Braden

Born: June 28, 1954 – Kansas City, Missouri, United States

Gregg Braden is an American author and speaker focused on spirituality, human potential, and connections he draws between science and ancient traditions. His best-known books include The Divine Matrix, The God Code, and Fractal Time. A frequent conference presenter, he is commonly described as a five-time New York Times bestselling author.

Biography & Author's Journey

Gregg Braden came to authorship through technical work rather than a conventional literary path. He studied earth sciences at Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City, continued with marine geology and marine biology at Florida Institute of Technology, studied geology and remote sensing at Colorado State University, and earned a B.S. with honors in structural geology and earth sciences from Metropolitan State College in Denver while working full time at Phillips Petroleum during the energy crisis of 1979. He later held systems roles at Martin Marietta Aerospace and then at Cisco Systems, where he became the company’s first Technical Operations Manager in 1991. Leaving that corporate track to write and teach full time became the decisive turning point in his career. ((https://greggbraden.com/about-gregg-braden/))
