'''Gregory Wayne Glover''' (born [[April 13]], [[1969]] in Dallas, Texas) is a radio disc jockey and music director for KNRK-FM in Portland, Oregon and co-founder of the Arena Rock Recording Company.

Glover grew up in [[Hueytown]] and [[Southside]] and graduated from [[Homewood High School]] in [[1987]]. He worked for [[Turtles Records]] and [[Fastix]] and attended the [[University of Alabama]]. He graduated from the University of South Florida in [[1995]] with a degree in English literature. While a student, he published a fanzine entitled "The Bottom Forty."

He moved to Brooklyn, New York, hoping to land a job with ''Rolling Stone''. Instead he spent about ten years working for London Records in A&R and publicity. He and intern Dan Ralph launched their own label in [[1995]], and signed the band Harvey Danger, which he later ushered to London Records. He was promoted to vice president of A&R in [[1998]] and left before moving to Oregon in [[2004]] and becoming an alternative rock DJ.

Since [[2010]], Glover has become, as critic [[J. R. Taylor]] called him, "a curator of Birmingham rock" by reissuing albums by [[Carnival Season]] and the [[Primitons]]. He and his partner, Alana Jevert, also operate a weekends-only clothing and record shop in Astoria, Oregon.
