Name Gilbert Grissom Nicknames Gil, Grissom, Gris Age: 51 Family: Father (Deceased), Mother ( Occupation: None. Love Interest: Sara Sidle (Fiance) Short Bio: Grissom was born on August 17, 1956 in Santa Monica, California to a middle-class family and grew up in Marina Del Rey, California. His father was a botanist and his mother ran an art gallery in Venice. Grissom's father died when he was nine years old, most likely from heat stroke. His father inspired his love of the natural sciences. He was raised Roman Catholic, but he now seems to be a lapsed Catholic. He told Sara Sidle in a season seven episode that, while he is not really a Catholic anymore, he practices a sort of "secular Catholicism, which implicates ritualizing aspects of everyday life and then viewing them with a spiritual intensity they would not otherwise possess". Grissom's mother was deaf and because of this, he knows sign language and can lip read. He inherited his mother's otosclerosis, a disease which nearly led to the loss of his hearing. But he underwent corrective surgery and his hearing problems have never resurfaced. Growing up he became an avid reader and an amateur scientist, conducting necropsies on the corpses of animals he found in the neighborhood. In a season two episode he told Warrick that in high school, he was a "ghost", meaning that he did not belong to any group in particular. When he was in college, Grissom financed his first body farm with his winnings from a high stakes poker game. At the same time, he also attended boxing matches to learn about the patterns of bruise formations on bodies and eventual blood spatters from the injuries. He became a forensic entomologist, earning his degree in biology from UCLA. Grissom once mentioned losing a body while in Minneapolis, implying he spent time there before taking a job in Las Vegas.[25] This is mentioned again when he works with his former mentor, Dr. Phillip Gerard, played by Raymond J. Barry, stating that he used to work for him in Hennepin County, whose seat is Minneapolis. He became the night shift team supervisor for the Las Vegas CSI unit on the second episode of the series, after Jim Brass got demoted following the death of co-worker Holly Gribbs. In season seven, Grissom took a sabbatical to teach a class at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts for four weeks.[28] Prior to his sabbatical, Grissom had been showing signs of "burnout". Upon his return, however, he appears reinvigorated and tells Warrick Brown that he "missed" Las Vegas."	Gil Grissom is not mine, he belongs to the creators of CSI. His PB WIlliam Peterson is his own man. I will cut in any comms he may join for spoilers but not in his journal. He is for play in highwaytohell, where is storyline will unfold. We'll see what happens later on down the line for him.
