Grindberg attended Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda, Maryland. His start in comics came, he said, when “I went to both Marvel and DC comics back in 1981 when I was still 19 years old and began my career in comics. I went to Marvel and met Jim Shooter who was the EIC at the time and he basically asked which rock did I crawl from under and gave me my first assignment. It was an inventory job to test me out on. That same day I went to DC’s offices and met Ernie Colon, their art director at the time. He offered about the same thing but did mention something about illustrating Batman, which really was not as hot as the Marvel characters at the time and since I already had a commitment from Marvel I stayed put with my first offer.”

Among his earliest DC Comics work was illustrating "Round 8", an eight-page story in New Talent Showcase #7 (July 1984), a comics anthology series intended to provide work for up-and-coming artists who did not have a regular assignment. In 1990, Grindberg collaborated with writer Mike W. Barr on the Batman: Bride of the Demon graphic novel. Grindberg's other DC work includes Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, Aquaman, Azrael, Detective Comics, Batman, Captain Atom, Firestorm the Nuclear Man, Green Lantern, Hawk and Dove, Checkmate, and Ion. His Marvel Comics work includes Marvel Comics Presents, Silver Surfer, Daredevil, and work on several Conan the Barbarian books, including Conan, Conan Saga, Conan the Savage, and Savage Sword of Conan. Grindberg drew the 1996 Doom comic book, and also worked on Solar, Man of the Atom for Valiant Comics in 1995 with writer Dan Jurgens.
