The Grau Family SILVERMINERS SINCE 2021

We are a family of 3 people and 3 dogs! John and I have 1 daughter who is in her senior year at UCONN studying Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences. Our 3 dogs are Piper (a mini-golden doodle) Hazel (a mini-dachshund) and Hudson (a mini-dachshund. John works in Investor Relations and I work in Education. We love pickleball, traveling, dining out, healthy cooking, cars/car shows, the Yankees, the Giants (unfortunately) and going to concerts. We have lived in New Canaan since 2001 but only moved to Silvermine more recently.
