Marcas Grant

Marcas Grant spent the first 17 years of his life in the San Francisco suburb of Vallejo. When he wasn’t out playing little league baseball or youth soccer, he was usually watching cartoons. At an early age, he dreamed of being a writer – until hearing stories of authors dying penniless and insane (not an exciting prospect). Instead, he settled on the profession of journalism. most of them seemed to die penniless as well. But at least they had their sanity.

Upon graduation from high school, he relocated to Los Angeles and the University of Southern California. It was here that he was first introduced to radio. After graduation, he spent a short stint working as an internet scribe, but ultimately boredom (and an undying need to always work for an underdog) led to him resuming his radio career.

For the next seven and a half years, Marcas’s love of sports and radio took him to the Central Valley. After spending a year as the voice of the Visalia Oaks and the Stockton Ports, he landed in Fresno. For the next five and a half years, Marcas was became immersed in Central Valley sports and was fortunate enough to be the play-by-play voice for many of them.

Years later, not much has changed. Marcas is still working in radio and more importantly, still a cartoon junkie. He’s working for Sporting News Radio in Santa Monica which gets him closer to his beloved USC Trojans and Los Angeles Dodgers. His likes include Arsenal football, a finely crafted stout and a nicely turned double play. His dislikes include reality television, wet socks and any Bruin victory.
