OFFICER PURSUANT TO RULE 13A-14(A) OR RULE 15D-14(A)


I, Gene S. Bertcher,  Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer of
Greenbriar Corporation, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-K of Greenbriar  Corporation
("Registrant");

2. Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  report  does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements
were made,  not  misleading  with  respect to the period  covered by this annual
report;

3.  Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
information  included  in this annual  report,  fairly  present in all  material
respects the financial condition,  results of operations,  and cash flows of the
Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4. I am responsible for  establishing  and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
procedures  (as defined in Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15(d)-15(e)  and
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) for the registrant and have:

a) designed such disclosure  controls and procedures,  or caused such disclosure
controls and  procedures  to be designed  under my  supervision,  to ensure that
material  information  relating to the  Registrant,  including its  consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,  particularly
during the period in which this report is being prepared;

b) Designed  such  internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused such
internal  control over financial  reporting to be designed under my supervision,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial  statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles;

c) Evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the  registrant's  disclosure  controls and
procedures and presented in this report our conclusions  about the effectiveness
of the  controls  and  procedures,  as of the end of the period  covered by this
report based on such evaluation; and

d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over
financial  reporting that occurred  during the  registrant's  most recent fiscal
quarter that has  materially  affected,  or is  reasonably  likely to materially
affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5. I have  disclosed,  based on our most recent  evaluation of internal  control
over financial reporting,  to the Registrant's  auditors and the audit committee
of the Registrant's board of directors:

a) all  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in the  design  or
operation of internal  control over  financial  reporting  which are  reasonably
likely  to  adversely  affect  the  Registrant's  ability  to  record,  process,
summarize and report financial data; and

b) any  fraud,  whether  or not  material,  that  involves  management  or other
employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's internal controls; and
