Hi crobertgalloway,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your MacBook Pro. I'm a bit unclear exactly where in the startup process things are hanging, but if it is happening persistently, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
About the screens you see when your Mac starts up - Apple Support
OS X El Capitan: If you see a gray screen at startup
