About Us
Our Team
History
Ministry

Today’s contractors like you are working longer hours, doing more and making less money than what your efforts reflect.

But it’s not your fault. Competition is fierce and many are willing to cut their price to get the job. The sales process is more complex because buyers have high standards. Suppliers are also feeling the pinch, so margins shrink. It can be frustrating and exhausting.

The History of Grandy & Associates

The history of Grandy and Associates is like many other companies. But, as you look closer you can see how the Lord led Tom on a pre-journey (some time in the wilderness). This journey equipped him to lead a company that today is recognized as an industry leader.
 
This journey began when Tom, an industrial engineer by trade, lost his job at an aluminum smelter that had a no-layoff policy.
 
Unable to find a job in his field, Tom accepted a full-commission sales job for a microfilming company in western Kentucky. In this position, he learned the art of selling from an old grizzled sales manager.
 
Later, after that job abruptly ended, his friend Paul asked Tom to put together a business plan and raise $100k. 

They agreed that upon doing so, Tom would get a job with this company. In one day, he raised the full amount. Over the next couple of years, he learned the ins and outs of small business.

Eventually, he went to work for Franchise One as a Development Manager. During this time, he put together a comprehensive training program for franchisees. Suddenly, that door closed when his department was eliminated.
 
Out of work again, Tom had lunch one day with an entrepreneurial friend who encouraged him to go to work for himself. Quizzically Tom asked, “Well, what would I do?” His friend replied, “Take the program you developed and turn it into a one-day seminar.”

And so it began, in 1987 Grandy & Associates was formed.  Over the next decade, steady and continual growth occurred and Grandy established themselves as a credible training company in the industry.  

Then in 2005, Tom crossed paths with Bill Kinnard. Tom’s business model had been a passion and calling that tugged at Bill for years.  And through a series of interactions, Bill joined Grandy and together, they continued to develop and expand the company.

In 2012, Bill approached Tom and expressed his desire to purchase the company from Tom.  Shortly afterward, an agreement was reached and the ownership structure was realigned, and the corporate headquarters was moved to Green Bay Wisconsin.  

At this location, Bill directs operations and strategy and Tom remains fully on board working out his office in Owensboro, Kentucky.

In 2018 Grandy & Associates made a major investment in our online training abilities. We added a full production studio enabling us to conduct live online training as well as high quality On Demand training lessons. 

2021 saw Grandy & Associates make a major revision to our industry leading Labor Pricing software. The update involved both a name change and a shift to an online platform. The new Planning For Profit Software will serve Grandy’s customers for years to come.

With the original vision of Tom well intact, combined with the leadership of Bill and a committed and talented team, Grandy & Associates is well poised to continue its journey as an industry leader in business training.


As ambassadors for Christ, Grandy & Associates follows the biblical mandate “To whom much is given, much is required.”

St. John's Ministry

This is a name that refers to our organization as a whole. St. John’s Ministries provides its services across four locations. At our two seasonal emergency shelters of last resort, we provide adults experiencing homelessness with a safe place to sleep during the harsh winter months. At the Micah Center and Wellspring, our two daytime resource centers, we equip adults experiencing homelessness – as well as community members at-risk – with the tools to achieve self-sufficiency.

Our mission is to honor the dignity, restore hope and create lasting change for those experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the Green Bay community.

At St. John’s Ministries, we believe that each person is unique, with the same inherent worth as the day they were born. We meet each of our guests right where they’re at and walk alongside them on their journey. Our vision is that through a spirit of familiarity, rapport and trust, each person will leave better than they came.

The Gateway Collective

The Gateway Collective was formed with passion and courage by St. John’s Ministries, a non-profit organization whose mission is to honor the dignity, restore hope and create lasting change for those experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the Green Bay community.

Housing instability is one of the biggest risk factors for homelessness.  The Gateway Collective exists to develop affordable and holistic Socially Inclusive Housing for individuals and families of all income levels.  The result is increased life satisfaction, stabilized housing markets and a stronger regional economy.

Together, we are stronger.
