Welcome to my website!

My name is Grant. I'm also known to my friends by a flurry of varied and interesting nicknames, none of which I shall bore you with right now. This site is woefully out of date at the moment, and I attribute most of this blame to the fact that this site is my hobby, not a calling, and I work on it as I find time, which is scarce enough to find these days. However, I'm working on a new one, slowly but surely, and I hope to get it running soon!

I'm currently 23 years old, I work for the largest retailer in the world; Wal-Mart, and I am still looking for the direction I wish to travel in life, which I am told is not uncommon in a man my age, but it still unnerves me sometimes.

I designed this website for many different reasons. The first and foremost reason is because I love web design SO much! I also wanted to have a site to showcase my talents for future employers. I designed it for family members, friends, or just having fun! To me, this is a miniature empire that I have created online. Grant's Empire was designed as an outlet for my vivid imagination, and total insanity! Here I rule, with all my subjects.

So, my friends, grab your mouse for some high surf adventure! Come on in to the website of an adventurous, homeschool graduate, and let your imagination run free. For those of you who have not been here before, let me extend my heartfelt appreciation for your visit to my empire. It is my hope and prayer that you come away blessed and refreshed. Have fun, and enjoy!
