Every Monday I’m going to bring you insight into the World Gaming makeup by giving you a chance to get to know a new member of our WG team. These are the guys that make us the juggernaut we are!
To kick things off I’m going to unveil my office man crush, I’m seriously obsessed with everything about this man. He’s such an interesting guy…
However his picture doesn’t do him justice and he said he’d systematically destroy me and every bone in my body if I tried to snap a picture of him to display his height, hair and intimidating frame.
He goes by the name of Len Grant and he’s “alright” (his favorite word). Get to know and love him…

Now a few personalized questions…
Q: You grew up in a really rough part of Toronto called Rexdale. What was that like?
A: I was really small when I was a kid, so I got picked on & beat up – until I got sick of that & started fighting back. Living in Rexdale will certainly toughen you up, if you can manage to survive.
Q: You have a really interesting look with your long hair. Tell me about the hair. How long it is? How long you’ve been growing it? And why you started it.
A: My hair is about 2 feet long – it goes past the middle of my back. I’ve had it long since i was about 15 yrs old. As for why I started growing it… I just started to – there was no real reason.
Q: With the hair 2 feet long and your 6′8 and 170lb frame, your a pretty menacing figure…but your really a gentle giant aren’t you?
A: For the most part, I am. It takes a lot to push me over the edge : )
