Hi there,

I'm Grady.

I’m a marketer who’s brain just runs in creative workflows. I’m always thinking “how do we make this better, faster, higher quality, more efficient” etc. Whether I want it to or not. I’m disinterested in allowing “good enough” and am always working towards better, more efficient solutions.

Outside of work I’m extremely into fitness (becoming a CPT), being involved in church, thrifting, music, reading, and my own entrepreneurial endeavors.

Let's connect!
