ATHENS, GA (August 18, 2015) - The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) is pleased to announce that Brian Grossman has joined its staff as Communications Manager. Grossman will be responsible for amplifying QDMA's educational message for hunters through social media, e-mail, the QDMA website, and Quality Whitetails magazine.

"I am extremely excited to be joining the QDMA team," said Grossman. "The communications manager position will be a great opportunity for me to combine my passion for deer hunting with the writing and social media skills I have acquired over the years. There is no doubt in my mind that the QDMA will continue to grow and be a leader of whitetail conservation, and I am looking forward to being a part of that growth."

Grossman has been a freelance writer, photographer, videographer and web designer since 2003. A trained wildlife biologist, Grossman founded the Poor Boys Outdoors and Working Class Hunter web shows and associated media during his free time while working full time as a wildlife manager. Grossman comes to QDMA from the Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division, where he was a field operations supervisor, overseeing management of 15 Wildlife Management Areas.

"Brian brings a great combination of skills and knowledge to our Communications team," said QDMA Director of Communications Lindsay Thomas Jr. "He will immediately enhance our ability to deliver hunting and QDM knowledge to our members while helping the entire QDMA family ensure the future of white-tailed deer and our hunting heritage."

Grossman, a Kentucky native, is a passionate bowhunter. He currently lives in Thomaston, Ga. with his wife, Tina, and their son Dakota and daughter Brooke.
