With a brand new season of The Bachelor beginning, it’s time to meet the who’s who of the cast before the number of contestants slowly but surely dwindles. First up is none other than our lead Grant Ellis.

Born and raised in Newark, N.J., Grant knows very well that dedication and resilience equals greatness. As a basketball player, he was destined to go pro. But when he had a change of heart after realizing that the life of an athlete was more demanding than he initially thought, he switched careers and went into a life of a day trader. With this job, Grant breezed through the hustle and bustle of trading in the day but soon found that, by night, life just didn’t feel complete. Thus he kickstarted his journey of finding the one who would be there for him every step of the way.

Grant joined the cast of The Bachelorette Season 21 starring Jenn Tran. Though he made it far into the season, he was forced to say farewell to Jenn right before Hometowns.

Bouncing back from heartbreak, Grant is better than ever as he embarks on this brand-new journey as the lead of The Bachelor. A journey he believes will not only open his love life to boundless possibilities but will also give viewers something to root for. “On Jenn's season I didn't really get to show who I was: my personality, my sense of humor and just the way I am on an everyday basis,” Grant told PEOPLE. "I think that that'll come across in the season. Hopefully people get to know my story, and hopefully it inspires some people."
