Three years ago, Grimm moved from Dallas to Arizona to open a ccrd office with eight people to more easily handle clients on the West Coast. As the lead electrical engineer, Grimm is overseeing the addition  of a 760,444-sq-ft expansion for Phoenix Children’s Hospital that includes a 30,000-sq-ft facilities plant. The $588 million construction project includes medium voltage distribution with the hospital, which will back-feed to the existing smaller hospital. At the LEED Platinum $100 million, 169-bed Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas in Austin, Grimm helped proctor a joint venture between the 472,000- gross-sq-ft hospital and Austin Energy to share a packaged hybrid $18 million Building Cooling Heating and Power District Energy Plant. The innovative idea allows on-site production of the power for the day light-harvesting medical complex, but uses the utility company as the emergency backup. For his efforts, Grimm earned ccrd’s 2010 Engineer of the Year Award. Grimm has also participated in a food bank drive where teams build structures out of cans to collect food for the local food bank. The father of two met his wife Sara after she broke up with his college roommate. He enjoys reading mystery novels and woodworking.
