About Grant King

I’m a business-minded professional with a deep passion for strategy, entrepreneurship, and helping people grow, both in business and in life. After earning my MBA from the University of Tulsa and a Bachelor’s in Business Management from Rogers State University (where I also served as a Scholar All-American and soccer team captain), I’ve committed myself to roles where I can combine creativity, leadership, and execution.Currently, I help run Next Level Athletics, a performance training business in Tulsa that works with athletes at all levels, from youth to professional. I lead the marketing, sales, and financial operations of the company, building systems, creating strategy, managing budgets, running campaigns, and ensuring we stay efficient while expanding our impact. From designing SEO-optimized web content and tracking ad performance to building out scalable revenue models, I’ve loved pushing the boundaries of what a small business can do with the right mindset and tools.What excites me most is the strategy behind business, figuring out not just what works, but why it works, and how to improve it. I enjoy solving problems, developing innovative ideas, and collaborating with individuals who share a vision for thinking big and building better. Whether it’s scaling a new revenue stream, improving conversion rates, or creating standout customer experiences, I’m always up for the challenge.
