Default Dave Grossman in GTA 4

I was playing GTA4 TLAD yesterday and bumped into a random character named Dave Grossman. Here's a link from GTA wiki.

Is there any relevance with the real Dave Grossman or is it just a random occurence?

Discuss.

It could also be Dave Grossman the chef or Dave Grossman the guy who hates video games. There are a few notable Grossman's out there.

There's apparently a Dave Grossman who makes those crappy video games where you don't get to kill people and the gameplay is driven by story and other interesting rubbish. What a dick.

I think it's the video game violence activist they were trying to portray as a sort of easter egg...

Lies! I can think of at least several games where you end up inadvertently killing people! (The fact that you don't know it at the time or that the deaths are rarely plot-relevant is a minor detail.) So ha!

Sounds about right after googling the subject. I've heard of this this guy before but I didn't know that his name was Dave Grossman. Apparently he's had some beefs with rockstar earlier so it makes more sense for it to be him.

I always thought it to be the one who hates Rockstar Games but that is just uncanny and some coincidence!
