Author Information

Sixty-six year's young, David R. Wommack's professional career has spanned 7 realms--public and private accounting; sales & marketing of computer systems, software, & multimedia; chef & restaurateur; financial consulting; an artist of expressionist portraits and figures; and now an author. He has lived in the United States, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines -- and traveled to all the world's continents except Antarctica. Along the way he married, and he and his wife of 32 years adopted and raised a daughter. Mr. Wommack usually writes in a pithy, staccato style that grabs and resonates in the mind. His style is delightfully succinct, humorous and without the trappings of literary pomposity. Mr. Wommack's writing interests span three areas: Life Lessons Learned, Parenting, Self-Defense for Women, Leadership and Vocabulary Building.
