Grant's range is incredible I've
worked with him on everything from preschool to scripted prime time and reality programming. But it's the spirit of creative collaboration he brings to the table that makes him such an invaluable partner: resourceful and pragmatic, but also flexible and lots of fun to work with. Every collaboration with Grant reminds me why I got into this business in the first place.

Grant employed both his considerable creative skills and his senior production management expertise to reinstate discipline in a complex production environment
between a major Hollywood studio and a new overseas production company. He’s a straight shooter and a tireless, rocksolid
production ally.

In addition to his own superior writing skills, Grant’s also excellent when it comes to team management. Working with a diverse group of writers and artists, he always manages to draw the best from each individual while creating a work environment
that encourages creative teamwork. With Grant it always seems to be about the project... not his own personal ego.
