Tommy Grubbs
Lead Director
I have a BFA in Art from Stephen F. Austin State University. I have worked in the educational field for 24 years and love what I do. I have taught both Art and Theatre. I have acted professionally and have also worked independently as a graphic artist and consultant. I believe that hard work and dedication pays off. I never settle for mediocrity and always strive to do the best I can in any endeavor. I am well versed in many subjects and love sharing my knowledge with others. I wear many hats and feel like there is more out there for me to conquer. I am going to do my best to move into film production once I retire from teaching. I am creative in nature and consider myself an artist both mentally and professionally. I am a creative problem solver and strive to make people aware of the importance and influence of art.
