The first program Grant ever wrote was written in BASIC on an Atari 400 when he was six years old. He printed out a robot on roller-skates over and over in a loop. That's when he first fell in love with the computers.

Grant graduated with BS degree in Computer Science from Xavier University. He has worked as a software developer at start-ups, software companies, a worldwide retailer and now finally at the Steve and Cindy Rasmussen Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital where Grant serves as Cloud Development Manager at the Office of Data Sciences.
