Beta- First off, let me just say that it is my sincere pleasure to broadcast LIVE sporting events and I am so happy that you enjoy listening to the action. I work hard on every detail, every aspect of play by play- to keep my listener entertained as well as involved in the game itself. It is fans and listeners like yourself who make this so very rewarding. Thank you again for the wonderful words and I hope you will continue to listen and follow my career. It is a long climb, but getting to the top in a profession is never easy- I am enjoying each and every day and each and every broadcast. Thanks again for the kind words! You are one of my biggest fans! Dave

I started listening to Dave Grant when he first started doing live broadcast for the Gouchos down in Mission Viejo until last year when he was offered the opportunity to do live broadcast with Cal poly in San Luis Obispo and i followed him there .I was never really interested in listening to live radio broadcast until i heard Dave Grant work his magic over the air. His informative, passionate play by play calling stirred a great interest in me as he is able to paint the entire game picture, complete with stats, plays and color comment about both Cal Poly players as well as opposing teams in the minds of whomever is tuned in. He is a rare talent that has the gift of broadcasting ,via radio ,a mental picture thats absolutely captivating while keeping one fixated on whatever game or sport hes broadcasting. I can honestly say that ive never experienced a broadcaster who was able to preform so flawlessly while doing different sports venues. One cant help notice that he does extensive research and puts in tremendous amounts of time prior to each game. Dave Grant is an upcoming force and a great announcer who will be in the big leagues soon, only a matter of time.Cal Poly is fortunate to of recruited such a fine broadcaster as well as a fine,energetic man.

This interview shows his intense passion, calmness and class which make up Americas next big broadcaster. Daves the man….listen, learn and you will agree. God has blessed him with the ” voice of the Universe “

Thank you for these comments. I strive to paint the picture for you- so that you feel like you are at the game, even though you are only listening. I, too, look forward to this season and hope that you will be able to listen to most of my broadcasts.

Dave Grant aka “DFG” is the reason why I listen to Cal Poly sports. His energy, his passion for sports, his knowledge of the players he announes, and his ability to make a listener feel as if they are sitting in the front row…..these are the reasons why Cal Poly is fortunate enough to have Dave Grant. Dave is and will continue to be a leader in broadcasting. Thanks Dave for everything you bring, every day!! I sincerely look forward to your 2012-2013 broadcasts. Check out Dave @ Ibroadcastsports.com
