A native of Richmond, VT, Alex Grant moved to Salt Lake City in 1998 to attend the University of Utah and experience all of the great outdoor recreation possibilities that Utah has to offer. Alexhas always been an avid mountain biker and snowboarder/skier, and Salt Lake offers the perfect place to pursue those passions along with a college degree.
