Angela Grossman grew up in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, and earned her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and political science, with a minor in accounting, from Ashland University. After graduation, a job opportunity took her across the country before she settled in California, where she pursued advanced studies at San Francisco State University and the University of California, San Francisco, earning both a master’s and doctorate in physical therapy. During her time in the Bay Area, she immersed herself in the local culinary scene, outdoor adventures, and became a certified skydiver.
Angela worked as an inpatient acute care physical therapist at California Pacific Medical Center for seven years before shifting gears to focus on family life. Since welcoming her first son, Ethan, in 2014, she has mastered the art of microwaving chicken nuggets and spearing juice boxes one-handed. In 2016, seeking a more family-friendly environment, Angela, her husband Michael, and their growing family moved to Austin, where they welcomed their second son, Aiden, in 2018.
Now deeply rooted in Austin, Angela stays active in her local CrossFit community and indulges her passion for travel—she’s visited 41 countries and consequently can ask, “Where’s the restroom?” in a wide array of languages.
