Grant Austin Dickey was raised in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. After graduating from Cistercian Preparatory School and a short time at the University of Texas at Dallas, he decided to enter the booming Information Technology business. While providing systems engineering services for companies such as HP and Microsoft, Grant earned recognition as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. As the tech boom drew to an end, he decided his fortunes lie elsewhere, and returned to complete his undergraduate work at Southern Methodist University with a degree in Business and a minor in Economics. He then set about writing his first novel, entitled Full Circle, and is working with his agent to find publication. After completing his novel, Grant returned to Southern Methodist University, where he excelled in the study of Law, graduating cum laude and serving two years as the President of the SMU Chapter of the Federalist Society, a prestigious national legal and public policy organization. He now runs his own law firm from an office in the Historic Dallas Brewery Building in Downtown Dallas. Focused on criminal defense practice, Grant also provides a general practice to serve every legal need in the Dallas area.
