My name's Kevin Grant. 
I'm currently an engineer at
North Anna Power Station
for Dominion Energy.
This is the very prettiest 
part of the state. 
You have the Lake Anna 
State Park,
as well as miles and miles
of back country road.
You've got the lake,
which is full of recreational
opportunities,
be it fishing, swimming,
boating. It's very beautiful.
I attended South Carolina 
State University. 
I got pulled into this nuclear
engineering presentation. 
Now at the time I hadn't heard
of nuclear engineer, 
I wasn't very familiar with it. 
And the more I learned about
nuclear energy, 
the more I respected it and
wanted to be part of it. 
In this industry, everything's
always changing,
always progressing, always
trying to improve.
I believe if the typical citizen
were to come in the plant 
and see how in-depth all our
securities and safeguards are, 
they would receive a 
feeling of assurance 
because we go above and beyond
to have redundancy set up to
make sure that we're 
functioning as we planned,
as we're designed to. 
So there's always 
room for growth
because the industry
itself is growing.
Every day I go home to a
beautiful family. 
I have my wife, my five 
year-old daughter, 
and my two year-old dog. 
My daughter is a 
bundle of energy, 
just a ball of raw energy 
just bouncing around. 
My dog's name is Ali. He's a
beautiful dog. 
Once he's comfortable with you
all he wants you to 
do is pet him.
At my age I'm very comfortable
with the progress 
that I've made,
and I feel that I'm 
right on track. 
Every, every moment, you know, 
there's that moment of, 'Is this
the right choice?' 
But at that very moment a new
opportunity presents itself. 
You have to be proactive, you
have to be determined, 
and committed to everything 
that you want to blossom
or to prosper.
And just the way I want my
family to develop and prosper, 
I want my career and whatever
projects that I'm working on
to be just as successful.
I didn't know about nuclear
energy or nuclear engineering. 
But now it's my life. 
And that's just because I had a
moment to learn about it. 
And I can only imagine how much
more there is to learn.
