Biography:
Born and raised in Reno Nevada, Chris loved to spend his free time adventuring in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains. Whether it be hiking in spring, or skiing in winter, he was, and still is, as avid outdoorsman. From the beginning, Chris knew that he wanted to be a doctor, but during his early college days, found himself spending more time outdoors than hitting the books. After realizing that his dream of becoming a doctor was slowly starting to vanish, a new sense of determination allowed him to turn his performance around. He worked hard his final years of college and achieved honors, all while working part-time as an EMT in the busy 911 system of Washoe County, NV. After graduating with his biology degree, he decided to get his Masters in Public Health, and eventually applied to medical schools. After spending 4 years in school in the Deep South, his hard work and determination earned him a highly competitive training position in the emergency room of County General in Los Angeles, CA. As a young resident/intern, Chris struggled to keep up with the pressure of practicing emergency medicine in the urban grinder. After a period of adjustment, however, he began to shine and fit in well. Towards the end of his intern year, he met his future wife, a young psychology PhD student, during a mental health rotation. While it wasn't exactly love at first sight, his persistence eventually paid off, and landed him a first date. The rest, was history. After years in the Los Angeles area, the Grant family moved to Shiloh County, the original hometown of his wife Nicole. After years in the Shiloh County area, the family has settled in well, and awaits the next big adventure life throws their way.
