About the Host

Tyrome D. Grant, Sr. Profile Photo
Tyrome D. Grant, Sr.

Tyrome was born in Greensboro, GA to Camiel Grant, Sr. and Annie Grant; he is the middle child of three. Both of his parents were life-long educators; therefore, it is no surprise that he and his siblings followed suit. Tyrome has devoted over 20 years to public education; 12 as an elementary school administrator. He currently serves as Principal of an elementary school in GA.

He and his wife, Graciela, of 26 years are the proud parents of Tyrome Jr, Caleb, and Rocket (the family's spoiled, I meant well-loved Maltese). Recently, they became proud "grandparents" to Simba, a beautiful pitbull.
