Sunshine Connections: Brooklyn native Steve Grossman has Jacksonville’s four airports under control
Brooklyn native Steve Grossman became inspired by airports when he was only eight years old. He was a cub scout living in Canarsie, Brooklyn. Once a year his scout troop would take an educational day trip to JFK International Airport. Almost fifty years later, now CEO and Executive Director of Jacksonville Aviation Authority’s four airports, Grossman recently told the Brooklyn Eagle that he feels lucky to have decided his career path at such an early age. “As a kid, everything about the airport stirred my imagination.”
Grossman was born in East New York on Alabama Avenue; his family moved to Canarsie and lived there until he was twelve. He attended PS 105; then his family moved to Seaford, Long Island, where he attended High School and Jr. High.
