Good morning everyone, this is just a quick heads up that I will be at FTU Advanced in Newport Beach this weekend.  I won’t be able to make the Friday night happy hour event, but I will be there all day Saturday and Sunday.  If you see me where my Travel with Grant shirt, please stop by and say hello.
