About Grant:
A native of Boca Raton, FL, Grant played collegiate soccer at the University of Illinois at Chicago (IL) and Coker College (SC). In high school, he also played for the 2015 winter HS soccer national champions, Montverde Academy. Growing up, Grant lived overseas and played soccer in the Philippines, Malaysia, Gabon, and Venezuela. After his playing career was cut short due to medical concerns, Grant was fortunate enough to be able to get into coaching high school soccer on the south side of Chicago. This eventually led to the creation of the Oak Forest Development Academy that Grant has grown from 23 high school girls into a club servicing 120 players ranging from the U8-U19 age groups. Grant is currently married to his wife Christina and resides in Evergreen Park with their daughter Violet (2) and son Gianluca who was born in December of 2019!
