David Meyer is an adventurer and international bestselling author. Praised for his full-throttle pacing and thrilling, twisty plots, his books have topped numerous Kindle Best Seller & Hot New Releases lists. David's love for storytelling developed at an early age. Much of his childhood was devoted to constructing toys, inventing games, and building elaborate cities out of blocks and legos. Years later, he graduated from the University of Rochester, first with a B.A. and then with an M.B.A. He made his way to Wall Street, but never lost his love of storytelling.

David has consulted on a variety of television shows over the years. Most recently, he made an appearance on H2’s #1 hit original series, “America Unearthed.” He lives with his wife and son in New Hampshire.
