| abstract | - Since he was a child growing up in Wisconsin, GRAND SLAM loved to read comic books and was a fan of science fiction. He also has a passion for ancient artillery and one of his hobbies involved miniature recreations of catapults, trebuchets and cannons. It is also a hobby that got him in trouble on occasion with those less patient with his practical jokes, he hurled small stones and papers with these working miniatures. Nevertheless, he became an expert in calculating distance and trajectories, the necessary elements in artillery work. Soft-spoken and calm, he was fascinated with science and technology and studied to become an electronics engineer. Once he joined the army he became interested in much of the advanced military technology that was being developed. He entered Special Weapons School (graduating top of his class) and Advanced Technology School. Grand Slam became an expert with the "HAL" Heavy Artillery Laser and the "JUMP" jet pack. Grand Slam was one of the original 13 members of the G.I. Joe team, which often used some of the most advanced (and top secret) weapons the army could develop. After the re-dedication of G.I. Joe headquarters, aka "The Pit," Grand Slam and many of the other original Joes were taken off active duty. Even so, Grand Slam continues to occasionally participate in missions with the team, and he has become involved in research and development for the Joe team's high-tech weapons and vehicles. He also assists with the training and choosing potential members of the Joe team, and Pit security.
