Pylkas
A teacher at Tartan High
School in the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Grant has taught college,
middle school, and high school for the past fifteen years. In his youth he was
a homebuilder and operated a Dairy Queen.
Receiving a Masters Degree
in both Management and Education, Grant has long been an advocate for children.
He has served on the Board of Directors for Dakota County Technical College and
has taught in the College of Education at the University of Minnesota.
Having a passion for teaching
has been his calling card. After attending the "Teaching for a Change"
summer conferences every June for the past seven years, he finally found the inspiration
to pen his first novel, Sneak Teaching.
He is the father of three
grown daughters and has been married for thirty-plus years to his "first
wife," as he would say.
He has had, at this writing,
some thirty years of sobriety with the help of athe supportive Minnesota recovery
community. The writing of this book was driven by the need to share with the world
the reality which he experiences every day when he walks through the portals of
a large high school with a hope and a desire to have an affect on the lives the
most afflicted students.
