Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, Grant lives in Durham, North Carolina with his “spousish” partner, Karen. His first book, “GRANTASMS!" is the culmination of many years of word creations from his big ideas, small wonders, and unfinished business. He is an enthusiastic lover of languages, along with creative psychology for socio-emotional health. Every day Grant discovers new made-up words and phrases for enjoyable communication, along with ever-twisted ways of treating people with creative empathy. He's also a little funny, too.
