Growing up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, David Triemert has lived much of his life on the wild side and challenged the status quo nearly every step of the way. In the early days, his rebellious nature became the cause for being kicked out of the Catholic school in the fourth grade. More recently, his passion for helping others and making our world a better place resulted in him being jailed three times in retaliation for exposing local government corruption. Having been locked up and deprived of his freedom on what he believes were nothing beyond victimless “thought crimes,” he now serves as an activist for political prisoners and the wrongfully accused. A near-death experience following a motorcycle accident at age eighteen and a journey to the “other side,” is where he first encountered God. This incident served as a catalyst that led him to a spiritual path, which became the foundation for his Cocktails with God book series. Throughout the years, he’s been exposed to other realms of supernatural phenomena and loves to talk about such things. His daily ritual of waking up in the early morning hours and paying heed to that inner voice he believes to be the Holy Spirit has strengthened his faith in the divine Creator. David has studied hundreds of different works on spirituality, Eastern thought, death and dying, and ancient mysticism. He’s also participated in various mind/body courses, including Transcendental Meditation, Reiki, Light Body, Landmark Education, and others. A common man’s philosopher, David Triemert loathes all things PC (politically correct) and is proud to say he bleeds red, white, and blue. He currently lives in a suburb of Saint Paul and is working on his third bar-room novel, Cocktails with God in the Land of 10,000 Lies.
