We are excited to welcome Grant Dupart as the newest member of the Brent’s Place Board of Directors, effective January 1.

Grant brings deep expertise in hospitality, real estate investment, and asset management—experience that aligns seamlessly with Brent’s Place’s mission of providing safe, stable, and compassionate housing for families facing life-threatening medical crises. Originally from Virginia, Grant moved to Colorado in 2010 to attend the University of Denver, where he studied hotel management and met his wife, Ellen. Together, they are raising three children—Frances, Howard, and Russell—and enjoy spending time outdoors fishing and skiing as a family.

Professionally, Grant is a founding principal of WalshDupart, a Colorado-based real estate investment firm specializing in hotel investments. WalshDupart currently has 21 assets under management, including development projects, acquisitions, and third-party asset management. Grant began his career in hotel operations in Washington, D.C., before transitioning into hotel real estate investment, where he now leads investment strategy and asset management consulting for the firm. He also served for six years as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Denver, teaching the senior capstone course in Hotel Investments and Asset Management.

Grant shared why Brent’s Place resonates so strongly with him:

“Brent’s Place provides a crucial resource to families in need and does so with an unwavering commitment to selfless service. The Brent’s Place team are the true hospitality experts in our community, and I am excited to pair my background in hotel development with their flourishing foundation. The existing infrastructure and need to serve more families were particularly important to me, and I am humbled by the opportunity to serve on the board.”

We are grateful to welcome Grant’s leadership, expertise, and heart for service to the Brent’s Place community and look forward to the impact he will help shape in the years ahead.
