About the author
Born in 1950, David grew up in a very small Western Washington logging town near the Pacific coast of the US. As an eventual family man and a healthcare professional, he became quit interested in the various disciplines of science early on in life.
As a young boy, he loved being outdoors whenever possible, as this afforded him the opportunity to satisfy a growing curiosity for the natural world.
After graduating from high school in 1968, he attended Lower Columbia College in Longview, Washington where the focus of his academic study in the sciences would become the natural progression of a keen interest in a complex physical world and its many wonders. This would lead him to the discovery and understanding of many facts and details that have defined the disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology.
David went on to the University of Washington in Seattle where he studied and received a science degree in Pharmacy in 1973. After combining his science background with a personal interest in history and theology, he turned to writing as a way to share the knowledge gained through many years of study, observation, and personal experience.
As a long-term healthcare professional, he soon recognized that writing and teaching were the most effective ways to share the knowledge and understanding he had gained, which could ultimately benefit others as well. Many years of study, research, writing and editing would eventually lead to the completion of a book narrative that he had dreamed of sharing throughout much of his adult life.
The Mystery of Life book project is not a casual stab in the dark at a few puzzling questions inherent in a complex physical world, but contains a thorough documentation of highly relevant and verifiable scientific and historical facts that have been, all too often, conveniently overlooked and even carelessly disregarded by a skeptical world.
