The 5th Quarter Podcast with Sandy Adams

In this episode, I sit down with Grant Vermeer—a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and former D1 basketball player, former Cryptologic Warfare Officer, and current real estate expert.

Grant’s story is one of finding true purpose beyond his job titles. From playing basketball at the Naval Academy to serving in submarine operations, Grant realized that his identity wasn't just about his sport or his military career—it was about his passion for helping others.

After leaving the Navy, he found new purpose as a partner in The Vermeer Group and as founder of Academy Insider, a nonprofit supporting Midshipmen and their families.

Join us as Grant opens up about the challenges of transitioning out of the military, the importance of discovering who you are beyond the uniform, his love of the game of basketball and how he continues to make an impact in his community.

If you’re searching for ways to redefine yourself and find your next purpose, this episode is for you.
