Grant Guy
Bio:
My name is Grant; born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I learned from my mom to be caring, from my dad to be hardworking, and chased the ‘American Dream’ growing up. My life changed shortly after graduating college with a business management degree in 2008 at the height of the economic recession. Instead of getting a corporate job, I traveled the west coast in search of what to do next, and saw first-hand how the greed of special interests negatively affects millions of average families. While on my way to a job interview in Portland, Oregon, a canvasser stopped me and I reluctantly sponsored a 10-year-old girl from Guatemala. The next week, I started working for that same company, and did that job across multiple cities in the US for two-and-a-half years.
I soon realized that I was just a Band-Aid in the fight against poverty. I was so burnt out that I quit that job and traveled overseas with my now wife, who I had signed up as a sponsor in Minnesota. We traveled extensively, and as much as I tried to escape the problems of the world, they kept hitting harder than ever before. I realized I had to do something about that back home. When I came across a Wolf-PAC video in the Fall of 2014, I signed up to volunteer.
Looking at the sacrifices made by generations of Americans before me, I knew I needed to contribute to bring about true positive change. From my years of volunteering, I believe this is the best way to address the root cause of most issues; and thank fellow volunteers who dedicate their personal time to this important cause.
