About the Author

David was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and spent most of his childhood on a farm in Heber City, located in the Wasatch Mountains. He loved exploring the mountains on his horse looking for adventures to follow. Growing up, he wanted to be a movie director and used his own Super 8 camera to make silent movies with his friends and brothers and sister. Instead he earned a Bachelors in Engineering at the University of Utah. While there he met the love of his life, Jenelle and they were blessed with three amazing sons: Josh, Tate, and Porter. David later earned his Masters of Business Administration from Northwestern University and pursued a path in the corporate world. But his creative side continued to tug at him for years until finally through the encouragement of his wife and boys, he realized that it's never too late to follow your dream. So David set off to write an epic adventure of a boy and his horse and created a story of freedom, adventure, love, courage, and sacrifice. When he's not writing, David enjoys outdoor activiities awith his family, and especially loves surfing with his three boys in Southern California where he resides.
