Bio
Eric Grant is President of Municipal Code Corporation (Municode). Eric joined the Municode team in 2007 after graduating from the University of Virginia School of Law. Prior to receiving his Juris Doctorate from the University of Virginia, and becoming a member of the Florida Bar, Eric served as a Tank Platoon Commander in the United StatesMarine Corps. As a Marine, Eric served both stateside and abroad. Eric and his unit were deployed during Operation Enduring Freedom shortly after September 11, 2001. By way of preparation for his career as a United States Marine, Eric attended both the United States Naval Academy and Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. While at the Naval Academy, Eric served as the Brigade Commander, responsible for the development, training and welfare of over 4,000 of America’s finest young men and women. While serving as a United States Marine, Eric served in Virginia, Kentucky, California and abroad as a member of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit. From July, 2007 until September, 2012, Eric served as Vice President of Municode’s Supplement Department. In this role, Eric led a team of the nation’s finest legal editors, proofreaders, indexers and production support personnel in support of over 3,700 municipal clients. As President of Municode, Eric has helped the company achieve increased levels of growth and has guided the team in several acquisitions both in Municode’s traditional line of business and into new verticals. In 2014, Municode acquired Colorado Code Publishing Corporation and successfully integrated all of their clients into the Municode family. By focusing on superior customer service and operational efficiency, Municode was able to retain 100% of the former Colorado Code Publishing Corporation’s clients. In early 2015, Eric’s team negotiated a new partnership with an electronic bill payment and presentment company, giving Municode a new and highly profitable revenue stream in the Utility Billing sector. Recognizing that the future of the municipal space will be found in the digitization of content and the creation of new platforms that will enable cities and counties to become increasingly efficient in the face of budget pressures, Eric is leading MCC into additional online verticals that will broaden Municode’s portfolio, deepen its ties with its 3,700 municipal clients and markedly increase its profitability. In addition to his commitment to the profession of municipal service, Eric is a devoted husband and father of four children. Eric also serves on a number of boards including the Community Foundation of North Florida and the United Way of the Big Bend.
