Grace Lynne, Jodson Graves

Grace and Jodson met at the Marine detachment aboard Fort George G. Meade, Maryland attending the Defense Information School. They would both go on to serve with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing's communication strategy and operations teams out of Cherry Point, North Carolina. They married in New Bern, NC in 2016 and today raise three children.

After their first enlistments, they left the Corps for Louisville, Kentucky where they worked, studied, and experimented in life and business during the COVID-19 pandemic and outbreaks of racial unrest.

They founded the Institute in 2023, in hopes of creating a globally unifying force based on connection rather than domination. They began with the Agrinet Project, scheduled to be completed in late 2025.
