Upon leaving college Grant spent several years traveling the world before returning to New Zealand to grow up. His first real job began with DHL, spending five years in both operational and sales roles, before moving to Nokia where he dedicated the next fifteen years selling and marketing across both the Asia Pacific and Americas regions. Grant has always had a passion for literature, both reading and writing and a fascination with silly rhymes. The pandemic has enabled him to dramatically improve his guitar playing abilities while challenging his parental skills. Solemates is Grant's first poetry collection.view less
