Grusmark is also a photography enthusiast. His work has been seen on the cover of the Hartford Courant’s iTowns, in Governing magazine and various brochures. Grusmark is a graduate of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he earned a scholarship for artistic excellence and a B.F.A. in technical production. He lives in downtown Hartford with the love of his life, Carrie, their two dogs, Tippy and Hugo, and their cat, Cassie.
