KEITH KEHLBECK is a writer, historian, and marketing consultant with clients in the hospitality, nonprofit, and publishing sectors. He currently serves as Executive Director for DiRoNA (Distinguished Restaurants of North America). His clients have included the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Schuler’s Restaurant & Pub, Inns Magazine, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. For eight years, he served as Director of Marketing and Communications and then Executive Director for Select Registry, Distinguished Inns of North America, the premier marketing association for the upscale innkeeping industry. He has served on various boards, including the regional Convention and Visitors Bureau, the local Chamber of Commerce, and the Marshall Historical Society (serving as its Chair). From the time his family took a cross-country bus trip to visit Gettysburg on vacation when he was 10 years old, he has been fascinated by the War Between the States, its personalities, participants, and details. His wife Ali and their daughter Emma share his interest, if not quite his level of passion for the topic. They live in Marshall, Michigan—“the City of Hospitality”—but have a second home in the Northern Neck of Virginia.
