Biography[]

Greg Farshtey's personal biography on Amazon.com reads (as of 2018):

LEGO.com-icon-yellow This is a description taken from Amazon.com. Please do not modify it.

I was born in Westchester County, in NY, but grew up in southwestern CT and upstate NY. I graduated from SUNY Geneseo with a degree in Communications.
I have worked as a journalist, senior editor at a game company, and as a direct marketing copywriter. I have been working at LEGO Company since 2000 and am currently Editorial Director for LEGO Club.
In the last 9 years, I have worked on the BIONICLE, Exo-Force, Ninjago and Hero Factory book series.
When I am not writing, I like to cook, play piano, shop, and read.
I am divorced, with a wonderful little girl who I love with all my heart, and a cat named Sapphire who takes care of making messes on the days my daughter is not home. :)


Greg Farshtey wrote all BIONICLE comics since the theme's debut in 2001. He authored many BIONICLE books starting in 2004, and was the mind behind the online BIONICLE story serials in 2007 onward. Following BIONICLE's discontinuation, Greg volunteered to continue the BIONICLE story with regular updates to story serials on BIONICLEstory.com. He continued to do so until his baby daughter was born, which caused him to put the story updates on an infinite hiatus. He was not involved in writing the Generation 2 storyline for BIONICLE's 2015 reboot.

Besides BIONICLE, Greg Farshtey also contributed to writing the storylines of many other LEGO themes, along with Daniel Lipkowitz.[1] His repertoire included Alpha Team magazine comics,[2][3] Redini's answers,[4][5] Galidor: Danger in the Outer Dimension, Dino Attack,[6] and many Exo-Force books. In 2013, he was the author of the Ninjago comic book, Warriors of Stone, and the author of LEGO Hero Factory: Face Off! - Makuro's Secret Guidebook.

In 2022, Greg Farshtey and other employees were laid off by The LEGO Group due to LEGO Life being restructured and moved to a different team in Europe.[7]
