Sean Grimm
Florida
Hello, world.
My name is Sean Grimm and I recently graduated from Florida State University (May 2013). I have a bachelor's degree in Sport Management. I also studied English with an emphasis on editing, writing and media as my minor.
I've always had a passion for the world of sports, and I hope to transfer that passion into a satisfying career. I have roughly five years of experience in sport journalism. In 2011 and 2012, I was fully credentialed to cover FSU athletics. Currently, I'm writing for Bleacher Report as a Featured Columnist while I search for my permanent occupation.
Startups have grown to become a passion of mine. If I'm not tweeting about sports, watching sports, or doing anything sports related for the matter, I'm probably researching startups and gathering ideas.
