GREG ASIMAKOUPOULOS ’74 is a pastor, chaplain, and bard. The poetic output of the chaplain at Covenant Shores Retirement Community in Mercer Island, Washington, is featured at 7:42 a.m. on KOMO Radio each Blue Friday during football season. His Seahawks poems urge the team to victory. Even the team’s coach, Pete Carroll, made it into “All I Want for Christmas,” a rhyme beseeching Santa for a Seahawks playoff run. A writer for the Mercer Island Reporter has given Greg the moniker of 12th Chaplain, a play on the popular 12th Man title bestowed on Seahawks fans for their loyal support. A prolific writer and freelancer, Greg often employs poetry as ministry and has published three collections of his poems, including Sunday Rhymes & Reasons. He lives in Mercer Island.
