I was born the summer of 1942 in Bremerton, Washington, where I still live. I ended up with thirteen years of education after high school and started writing fiction about thirty-five years ago. I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in Washington and a Pharmacist in Washington, California and Hawaii. I have visited twenty-seven countries since marrying my wife, Vickie Barrier, and I have flown between Washington and Hawaii at least 150 times. I snowboard, ski, spend loads of time with four granddaughters, and make Hawaiian quilts (www.davidwotruba.webs.com).
