David M. Grabitske (b. 1970), a native of St. Paul, grew up in Maryland during the National Bicentennial and went to high school in historic New Ulm. The son of a historian and a teacher, he also trained as a historian and in the business of nonprofits.

In particular he writes about the history of history work, practitioners past who helped shape history work, and how lessons earned by professional ancestors can be applied today.
