About the Author

Knowing David Anderson most all my life one thing I noted about him is it didn’t matter what avenue life took him down he had to be on the cutting edge. He is a different kind of person. Right out of high school he went to college and studied metal urge, inert gases, dissimilar metals, and shielded arch. Metal fascinated him. Dave was the kind of person that could break out of any kind of mold that you could cast him in. He didn’t like being tied down to one certain thing. After college he went back to his music that he had been involved with most of his life. He played with a lot of bands off and on and is an accomplished musician. One of the best groups he played with he named Arctica an Alaska band, like you’ve got Boston, Chicago, and Kansas. Out of 12 national bands they came in 4th place in battle of the bands. So they were the 4th band to back up Little Feet and Tower of Power in front of 25000 people at Red Rock pavilion in Colorado, hell of a show I should know I was his roaddie. He was surrounded by constructions most of his life and became a career pipe welder on the Arctic slope of Alaska now he is a writer (what’s next Dave). Life wrote this book for Dave and he lived the best part of the story.
