GRANT KING: MEMBER BEHIND THE BADGE
Grant King has been a member of The Rotary Club of Canterbury for almost 9 months. He began life as an accountant and believes in processing things in a logical way. The question he really loves is "...does it make sense?" Grant is loyal to his Trinity Grammar school friends, with whom he has a lifelong connection. He came into the world in North Balwyn and acknowledged the diverse range of graduates from his school. He chose to study in RMIT for an accountancy degree. Then, he proceeded to a post-graduate degree at Swinburne University. He obtained an internship in Deloitte Haskens, and adjusted to the world of marketing. Then, he became a Retail Area Manager with Caltex. After that, he worked for BP Oil for 7.5 years. He also sang at Holy Trinity Church Kew in the choir. Grant loves cars and has been involved in car restoration. He drove wedding cars. He particularly enjoys the heritage of those cars.
Finally, and most importantly, he feels blessed to spend time with his grandchildren. He also loves being Santa, at Christmas Time at Victoria Gardens, The Glen, Northland and in Dandenong.
Definitely a man for many seasons, Grant has thrown himself into all the different roles required of The Rotary Club of Canterbury. It was an amazing presentation of a member behind the badge.
