He currently has four rescue cats – two from shelters and two that just walked up to the house looking for a great place to live.

Outside of the clinic, he is a huge gardener and international traveler (mostly to catch up with his wife, who does international Public Health and Emergency Planning). 16 free-range chickens adorn Dr. Grant’s yard. A year-round hiker, summer will find him biking or fishing on some of the state’s great waterways and winter trying to defy gravity on the ski hill.
