David A. Grant is an author, freelance writer, keynote speaker, and traumatic brain injury survivor living in southern New Hampshire. His writing explores the human experience, resilience, family, and the extraordinary moments found in ordinary life.

His latest book, 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘜𝘱 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩, is a deeply personal memoir celebrating childhood in New Hampshire during the 1960s and 1970s. More than three years in the making, the book draws on family memories, conversations with his late father, and the experiences of growing up in a world that has largely disappeared. Since its release in 2026, Growing Up North has earned a place on Amazon's regional bestseller rankings.

David's earlier works include 𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘴: 𝘚𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘺, which chronicles his first eighteen months of recovery following a life changing cycling accident in 2010, and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮, 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘖𝘯𝘦: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯, a work of fantasy fiction. His writing has also appeared in multiple Chicken Soup for the Soul collections.

A longtime advocate for the disability community, David is the founder of BIHN, the Brain Injury Hope Network, an international nonprofit organization reaching more than 60,000 members across over 60 countries. Through education, peer support, and community outreach, the organization helps survivors and families discover that hope and meaningful lives remain possible after brain injury.

Beyond his writing and advocacy, David is an avid cyclist, hiker, photographer, husband, and grandfather. He finds inspiration in the natural beauty of New England, the wonder of childhood, and the simple moments that often become life's most treasured memories.

Whether writing about growing up in a small New Hampshire town, navigating life after brain injury, or discovering joy in unexpected places, David's stories share a common thread: life is a remarkable journey, and every chapter matters.
