Grant Christopher Adams

Just a little about me...

I was born in Reno, Nevada but raised in California.  I have been teaching Spanish at both the high school level as well as the college level for many years.  I absolutely love Spanish, linguistically and culturally.  I am so intrigued with the second language learning process.  I love to help students open their minds to life outside of the classroom.  The Spanish language and culture have been a key factor in who I am and how I live my life.  My wife is from Spain and we keep a very consistent “Spanish speaking only” environment at our home.  My three beautiful daughters also speak Spanish.  My wife and I spend each summer in Spain visiting her family. I have many interests/hobbies.  I love to be with my family and friends primarily.  I enjoy activities such as: travel, reading, scuba diving, running and just hanging out and enjoying a coffee with my wife. 

We live life only once…so, let’s make it count!
