David T LaDuke

Follower of Christ, Author, Musician, Radio/Music Producer, Lyricist, Husband, Father, Brother - these are the fragmented names that say much, but tell only a little. Let's connect and see what inspiration and discovery awaits. Won't you join me on a journey of faith, culture, storytelling, and art?

By fifth grade it was distinct - the desire to be an author. Music, sounds, words, the fine filaments of daydreams spun into fanciful yarns, these were always in my head.

From youth, through high school, to college writing always felt like the "thing" to be doing. It felt right.

Eric Lidell, as quoted in the movie Chariots of Fire said, "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel his pleasure."

Born 1967 in Detroit, Michigan I was raised by loving parents who impressed in the clay of my childhood a belief in God's existence. Around eight years old we moved farther north to a town called Hartland. I graduated from Hartland High School in 1986. In December of 1986 by God's Grace I became a follower of Jesus Christ.

After a couple years at University of Michigan - Flint I moved to Pennsylvania and was married to my beautiful wife, Julie in 1989. Five children, multiple grandchildren, and various houses and pets later I now reside in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

For most of my adult life I have worked blue collar jobs, operated my own small businesses (recording studio, real estate investment), and volunteered in church ministry (Bible teaching, pastoring, leading worship, etc).

In addition to writing, I love guest speaking at churches, performing music, writing lyrics and working at audio production in my studio.

As I launch out onto the high seas of authorship and social media I look forward to connecting with a network of friends both now and well into the future. So glad you can come along.
