Grant graduated from Auburn University's ID program in 1988. Since then, Grant has been the driving force behind DD's success. Constantly moving, emailing, directing marketing activities one minute and on-site managing a major install the next. He's obsessed with traveling, mountain biking and kayaking, but he lives for his family and especially his daughters.
PRESIDENT / INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
GRANT PERRY
We sometimes wonder what Dean CAN’T do. Always ten steps ahead, his business intelligence has made him an invaluable asset. He recognizes new opportunities, makes strategic business decisions, and ensures a successful environment for day-to-day operations. While spending most of his day running numbers, he is also assisting production when it's crunch time. Don’t let his quiet nature fool you, he’s competitive on the tennis court and a proud hockey dad. His wife and kids are driving force behind his passion.
