Dave Atkinson is a Christian author, founder of the Existentia Institute, and a man who has lived both ends of the spectrum — achievement and rock bottom — and writes from every inch of that ground.
His passion, above all else, is God. Dave is at home in every Christian tradition. He believes in the body of Christ: that denominations are less like divisions and more like distinct functions. We each find our place, and Christ is at the head of all of it.
Dave has been an athlete his entire life — weights at twelve, college sports, and still training today. When he's not in the gym, he's in the mountains: off-roading, mountain biking, fly fishing, or hiking — where he feels closest to God.
His career in sales and operations earned multiple national recognitions. In July 2026, he founded the Existentia Institute to share what God had made undeniable: science, physics, and God are not competing arguments — they are the same one.
Dave loves life. He lifts. He prays. He writes.
