Name: Grant Roberts Ginsberg
When did you join JMF? I joined JMF in July of 2014.
Role: Senior Program Director. My role includes marketing our SPIRIT 2.0 Analyzer, Pharmaceutical outreach, and helping coordinate the Jeffrey Modell Infusion Center project.
What inspires you: I had the pleasure of unexpectedly meeting Vicki and Fred Modell this past summer. I was introduced to the Modell’s through a mutual friend, while we were eating out at an Italian restaurant in New York. I immediately connected with Vicki and Fred on both personal and professional levels. Their lifelong journey and story truly resonated with me. I believe that their son Jeffrey chose me to meet Vicki and Fred on that particular night. I keep a picture of Jeffrey at my desk which is a continuous reminder to work as hard as I can, on his behalf. Vicki and Fred have truly inspired me to live for something greater than myself.
What aspect of JMF do you find most special? The work I do at JMF gives me the most fulfilling feeling at the end of the day. Knowing that I am helping save children’s lives is the most gratifying feeling. The global presence of JMF is truly unbelievable and being relatively new to JMF, I have the utmost respect for Vicki, Fred, and the rest of the JMF family.
What’s your favorite JMF memory? I love hearing about the stories of children’s lives that have been saved through JMF’s efforts, particularly through Newborn Screening.

To Sum Up! I grew up in Rabat, Morocco and went to college at Indiana University. I love to travel, workout, read, and discuss politics/current events. I am a very easygoing guy.
