Hi, I’m Grant, Branch Manager of Standard Restaurant Supply here in Mesa, Arizona. I was born in Colorado, moved to Alaska when I was nine, spent ten years in Seattle, and eventually made my way back to Colorado to finish my degree at Metropolitan State University of Denver. I majored in Convergent Journalism with a minor in Sport Media and also completed coursework in Sports Business Management and Data Analytics through Northwestern University. I’ve spent the past 10+ years in grocery, retail, and restaurant operations. I started out as a Courtesy Clerk at Safeway and worked my way through multiple departments before stepping into leadership roles with Target and King Soopers, where I supervised front-end operations and e-commerce teams. I also spent four years with Marco’s Pizza, working my way up from an inside team member to General Manager, while helping support several other stores across the Denver Metro area.
Before coming to Mesa, I served as Assistant Branch Manager at our Denver location. Now, I’m proud to lead our Mesa team—focused on great service, strong relationships, and helping restaurant owners find exactly what they need at the right price. Outside of work, I’m a big sports fan (Rockies and Broncos all the way), love writing and music, and enjoy spending time with my family in Colorado and my dog, Charlie.
