Gresh grew up in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, where his father worked as a coalminer. He went on to receive a degree in journalism from the University of Rhode Island in 1997. He also played football in college as an offensive lineman for the Rhode Island Rams.
While in college, Gresh was an intern for various sports radio stations including WFAN in New York City and ESPN Radio in Bristol. In 1997, he left ESPN Radio for WPRO in Providence to become an on-air personality for their morning sports show The Score. In the mid-2000s Gresh was a regular on air personality on WSKO 790 AM an all-sports ESPN radio affiliate in Rhode Island. Gresh's career was interrupted when the station abruptly changed its format on March 10, 2008 and laid off all its on air personalities. Due to his experience at WPRO and WSKO, both WFAN and ESPN Radio rehired him.
