Joe Gregg was of Native American (American Indian) heritage, often referred as Navajo, Comanche and a mix of Tulalip with Mexican. A very active fighter, he moved to different states, possibly avoiding legal problems. A tough brawler that often favored his head and elbows as weapons, he was a career criminal. In 1905 he lost an ear in a knife fight, was often arrested for vagrancy, was arrested for wounding a man with a knife and was a suspect in a murder and several holdups.

He is to be distinguished from Joe Schildt, who was often also known as "Indian Joe," and who fought in the same area during the same era.
