Thousands who have been defeated by Grant in online multiplayer games have cried to themselves, wondering, “How did he get so good?! Why can’t I be a gaming demigod like him?” They would probably be surprised to learn that Grant actually inherited his elite gaming skills from his mom, Joann Hansen, one of the speediest stenographers/typists in the nation, (and probably the world). Fun fact: he is also the son of the world’s first “let’s player” and comedy legend, Tim Testa.
