When not at work, Grubbs can be found at home, likely cooking and trying to entice his 5-year-old into adventuresome eating. Lately, he has been trying his hand at vegan and vegetarian cooking. On weekends, Grubbs enjoys cycling. Most of his rides end with a beer from a local brewery. However, his competitive side really comes out when playing a board game or table-top role-playing game with friends.
