Mayor Hupp said he is a believer in "wonderful Grantsville," a life-long resident of Calhoun, residing in the town with his wife Kelli, a registered nurse.

Hupp graduated from Calhoun County High School in 2000 and Glenville State College in 2010 with a surveying degree.

He is now a surveying intern with Hupp Surveying & Mapping.

"Grantsville has long been my home and I look forward to serving our residents proudly," he said.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Hupp, Jr. and the grandson of Geraldine and the late Doyle Hupp.
