After his four-year tour of duty in Germany, he was deployed to southwest Asia to support Operation Desert Storm and served in the 1st Armor Division and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.

As a medical practice executive, Grages is committed to achieving and maintaining a culture of excellence. MPC has been in the top 5% nationally in the American Medical Group Association Provider Satisfaction Survey since 2012 and achieved its highest performance, the 97th percentile, in 2020.a
