Life of Wonder

About the Life of a Passionate Public Servant

A Life of Wonder

Mr. Grassia states emphatically that he has lived a blessed life. He has seen a good portion of the world, through business, government service, and holidays. He has benefitted from a highly successful law practice, hiked through the Alaskan north to the sea with his daughter, journeyed across the lush lands of South Africa and the deserts of Namibia with his son, and walked along significant portions of the Appalachian Trail. He has climbed every peak in the Presidential Range of New Hampshire and most every other peak among the White Mountains.

He has two wonderful children and those children have presented him with two wonderful grandsons and one wonderful granddaughter. He has been a race car driver, a helicopter pilot, a fire-fighter, and emergency medical technician; has met one president, several governors, actors, mayors, and other persons of prominence; he has authored a novel and has three other unfinished books filling space in his PC; and he has been recognized multiple times for his citizenship, his public service, and his kindness towards others. To all of this he responds. “I like to think of myself as a proud and loving dad and grandfather… and as a good friend to those who have come to know me. I try to do my best.”
