Hello! Thank you for being here. I’m Grant. I lost my dad, lost my job, got out of a 6-year relationship, and moved in with my grandma in the span of two years. I am building the life I want and sharing that journey publicly.

I also share my life in 90 second clips on Instagram and TikTok. This is an extension of the videos I share. For those of you who are new, here is the first video I posted:

My story

A year ago I was living in New York City working at a tech startup as a software engineer. I walked into work one Wednesday in November and lost my job. I was panicked. In January, after some soul searching, I moved into my grandma’s extra bedroom in Los Angeles. I wanted to work on my own business and spend time with her. Two things that I figured I would never regret.

I started building apps. In May I started posting my life on Instagram and TikTok and my dad was diagnosed with leukemia in June and he died in November. I’ve continued to share my experiencing living with my grandma, navigating grief, and rebuilding my life.

Through this I’ve found an incredible community of people online and am grateful for the stories you’ve shared, the wisdom you’ve imparted, and the support you’ve given.
