Dominic Grossman

I'm a man of the mountains.

I'm thankful to start my days in pursuit of adrenaline and beautiful sunrises with my girl (fellow VFuel athlete, Katie DeSplinter), and I'm proud to share almost every sunset with her in an exhausted stupor.

When I’m not running, I help manage a cable assembly company and develop new products that keep the world spinning madly on.
