ABOUT GRANT
Grant grew up on the water in New Zealand. From the moment a pod of killer whales dove under his kayak while on one of his first kayaking trips as a teenager, he was hooked on a life outdoors. He went on to obtain his teaching degree specializing in physical and outdoor education and carried on to obtain his Master of Education in Sport Coaching and Management. He has extensive experience teaching outdoor education and fitness in New Zealand, Austria and Canada and currently works as a full time professor in Fitness and Health Promotion. Grant is an avid waterman and fitness instructor who will enthusiastically work along side you to help you reach your personal skill development and fitness goals.
