Meet David Grubb
Born in Detroit and raised in New Orleans, David Grubb has nearly 20 years of experience in journalism, broadcasting, and communications. An alumnus of Edna Karr High School and Wake Forest University, David began his career in front of the camera at KLAX-TV in Alexandria, La., and WGGB-TV in Springfield, Mass. After a diversion into public relations and marketing, he rejoined the sports world in 2013 as a Sports Information Director for Southern University at New Orleans and the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, as well as being a regular contributor to SportsNola.com. Since that time he’s grown into a multimedia presence, covering LSU, high school football, and primarily the New Orleans Pelicans for The Bird Writes and Crescent City Sports.
