Byron A. Gronseth
Heritage
The "A" is for Anthony, my grandfather's name. I'm passionate about my heritage and Southern roots, but the west coast has my heart. Born in Louisiana and raised in Virginia, I grew up on jambalaya, fairy tales and Civil War trivia. I'm picky about the rice you serve with gumbo, and I could read Lord of the Rings a thousand times and still find something new or interesting buried in the lore. I love puzzles and games of all sorts. Mostly, I like savoring rustic comfort foods, traveling the world with wifey and enjoying beautifully designed things.
Profession
My professional career spans almost twenty years, including old school print design, creative direction, interactive and product design leadership & project management experience.
Home
I'm an Air Force veteran and husband to an incredibly smart, supportive and inspiring wife and partner. Currently located on the road from the Pacific Northwest to Miami, and beyond — some days I can see clear water and palm trees from my office, other times the forest and mountains loom quite majestic'al. Wherever I am, it feels like home.
