Jeffrey Grinde

I was born in a tiny Wisconsin town and grew up in a slightly larger tiny town. I attended Ripon College, studying philosophy and chemistry-biology, playing tennis, debating across the county, and serving as an EMT. I spent the past three years bouncing around between Southeast Asia, New York, Southeast Africa (serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mozambique), and Australia. I am a huge sucker for obscenely long books, tennis, difficult hikes, and exploring Wisconsin’s state parks.
