Quick, think of five things others should know about you.
That’s the theme behind a series in UNMC Today called “Lookin’ at U.”
Each Thursday, we randomly select a medical center employee to feature.
This week, we feature Brandon Grimm, program associate in the College of Public Health.
Brandon Grimm |
- I have had many jobs in my life. I have worked at a dairy, a meat packing plant and a hog confinement. I’ve detasseled corn, walked beans and worked a livestock auction. I worked in a child care center, at a golf course, as a bartender, as a personal trainer and in cardiac rehabilitation as a graduate assistant. I’ve been a college instructor and a health educator. The last six years I have been with UNMC.
- I am originally from West Point, Neb., home of the 2011 Cattleman’s Ball and of Wimmers Hot Dogs. (Maybe by mentioning these I will get free tickets and hot dogs?)
- I have experienced Nebraska education at its best. I attended Northeast Community College in Norfolk for a year, received my bachelor’s degree from Wayne State College, a Master’s in Public Health from UNO, and I am working on my Ph.D. right here at UNMC.
- I recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and realized it is very hard to live off mashed potatoes and ice cream for two weeks. However, I did lose 15 pounds so maybe I could turn it into a new diet fad.
- When I was younger, I thought I would become a teaching golf pro and work at a course in Arizona. I soon realized I was not good enough and better go to college.
