He was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity at UGA and it was there where he met the love of his life, Anne Lockhart who soon became his wife. They had two children they loved and adored.

Mr. McCullough began his sales career with Johnson & Johnson as the VP of sales in the southeast region of the USA and moved on later to have a 15-year career at 3M pharmaceuticals as a sales representative for the south.

Gresham (Red) was active and passionate in many bible study fellowships; Wednesday Warriors  men’s bible study was his mid-week love (meeting at the Church of the Apostles) he was part of a Friday morning prayer group and a Tuesday bi-weekly bible study. He was an avid member of the Church of the Apostles and for many years volunteered at Leading the Way. Those who knew Gresham would know that he always put Jesus first, as that was his rock and his salvation. This led him to be a profound figure in everyone who was in his life, especially as a husband, a father, and a brother.
