entrepreneur.

He was named to GO Magazine's "20 Under 30" list for 2009 for his work as an entrepreneur.

family man. While Grant does love speaking and inspiring students, he loves his wife and daughters more! He was lucky enough to convince his gorgeous high school sweetheart, Sheila, to marry him and together they have two energetic little girls that Daddy chases all over the house!

A little history. Growing up, Grant always enjoyed challenging and inspiring those around him to overcome obstacles and be something significant in life. Having experienced multiple divorces within his family, Grant knew what it was to turn hardship into hope. As a teenager, he began to see how he could use his challenges to encourage and empower those around him.

normal guy. When he's not traveling and speaking to students, Grant lives in Springfield, Missouri where he is a pretty normal guy. He likes running, golf, reading, cookie dough ice cream, and long walks on the beach with his wife...except they don't have beaches in Missouri.
