About the author
A man of many talents whose careers have carried him through some very different chapters of life.
David lives in Iowa with his wife, Kim. Over the years he has worked as a waiter, a postal clerk and a seminarian, sold windows, siding and room additions for a home improvement company, and sold automobile service contracts before entering the ministry.
For twenty-six years he served as a parish pastor in the Lutheran Church, a calling he loved deeply and found richly rewarding.
Through every job and career, music has been the constant. David has been a singer and songwriter for as long as he can remember. After leaving the ministry he formed the band Just Say Moe, recorded the album It’s About Time, and performed at venues across Florida.
His experiences in music, work and relationships, and the many unexpected turns of life, all find their way into the stories he tells today. Every one of his books is available here, and he is already at work on the next.
