Grant Dolenz
Grant was born and raised in a state Dorothy called home before migrating to Oklahoma where the buffalo don’t roam. After graduating with honors from Ruidoso High in 2002, Grant left the mountains of New Mexico for the hills of central Texas to try something new.
Grant’s experience in customer service expands from country club member services to managing a men’s retail store before stumbling upon the eye care industry in late 2012. Shortly after, he earned his Paraoptometric certification.
Grant prefers to watch educational videos instead of reading in his free time. Also, he learned how to play the guitar at age 14 and has written dozens of songs over the years. Today, he spends more time creating electronic music on his computer.
