Harry Griendling is a poet and published songwriter whose work blends lyrical sensitivity with lived experience. Born and raised in West Philadelphia, Harry discovered the power of words early on, first through songwriting and later through poetry.

He founded and led a successful talent consulting firm for 25 years before  Read more
