Barry has spent his career in a variety of C-suite roles and has been instrumental in building and transforming businesses.

If you’re a follower of Jesus suffering with chonic pain at work, you may find yourself asking, where is God when I’m in pain? According to the Harvard Business Review, studies suggest that up to 40% of American workers experience chronic pain - pain that persists for more than 3 months - sometimes unbeknownst to managers and co-workers. For workers, chronic pain can be debilitating and discouraging.

He was a leader for LinkedIn's inChrist workplace fellowship group and is an advisory board member for Faith and Work Movement. His passions include reconciliation in the workplace, basketball, and adventuring outdoors.

Grant has worked with chronic pain for the past 3 years, seeking God in the midst of his pain.
