Born into a military family in 1972, Robbie Grayson III's upbringing unfolded against the backdrop of Cold War Europe. Commencing elementary school in 1977 (Bitburg Elementary School) and culminating in a high school graduation in 1990 (Mehlingen Christian Academy) in former West Germany, Robbie's formative years were also marked by four transformative years in England (1983-1987). His experiences, deeply influenced by the geopolitical tensions of the era, fostered a curiosity about the world and a diplomatic outlook. While traveling Europe with his family and attending DOD (Department of Defense) and private American schools, Robbie encountered a diverse array of individuals and witnessed significant historical events. The tumultuous late 1980s, in particular, left an indelible mark, as he experienced firsthand the reverberations of revolution, notably the Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989), the crumbling of Perestroika, and the eventual collapse of Communism.Following graduation from Pensacola Christian College in 1996 with a B.S. in Elementary Education, a minor in English Literature, and an eclectic concentration in psychology, Robbie founded the alternative education program Stone Table School in Franklin, Tennessee, where he dedicated himself to the minds of Music City's elite youth until 2011. Eventually launching Traitmarker, an online non-clinical psychometric platform, in 2007, he went on to establish Traitmarker Books, a book publishing company, in 2015, and Traitmarker Media, LLC, in 2023, where he represents authors for media opportunities.Robbie has been married to his wife, Sharilyn Suzette Smith-Grayson, a writer and educator, since 1997. Together, they have six children. They live in Franklin, Tennessee-"The Malibu of the South-where Robbie maintains a grounded presence and frequently can be seen at a Starbucks in the historic district of Downtown Franklin.
