AIP 2321 - Michael Grider

Michael Grider's journey wonderfully illustrates the Power of Possibility. Growing up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, he earned a degree in Journalism and Media from the University of Tennessee. After gaining experience in news radio and television, he pursued his dream of moving to a large media market, telling impactful stories, and winning awards. Unexpectedly, however, his experiences led him from top communications official in Knox County Government to a Chief of Staff in the U.S. Congress ... and is now the founder of Foothills Strategies.
