Since coming to Arkansas, Grunwald has focused his attention on recruiting and opponent breakdown in his first season at Arkansas.  He helped coordinate Arkansas’ top 45 recruiting class in 2009.

Grunwald was a three-time Asics Honorable Mention All-American and three-time first-team All-East volleyball player as an undergraduate at George Mason reaching the Final Four in 1997.  He moved on to Florida State for his graduate work where he worked as an assistant coach for three seasons.

Grunwald moved on to the University of Michigan serving as the compliance services coordinator for the Wolverines from 2000-02 assisting with student-athlete certification, eligibility and NCAA rules interpretation.

But coaching came calling again in 2002 when he returned to the SEC as an assistant coach at Ole Miss, a position he held through 2005.

Grunwald moved on from Ole Miss becoming the associate head coach at Morehead State until accepting the position at Arkansas.

Grunwald is a 1991 graduate of George Mason with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics.  He earned his master’s degree in mathematics education at Florida State in 1993.
