David Arp

David was born in Arizona and raised in Texas where he began a career in the oil and gas drilling industry soon after graduating high school. Since then, he’s traveled the world to places like Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Malaysia, India, China, Mauritius, and Namibia.
He discovered his love for writing while working for Aramco, drilling wells throughout Saudi Arabia. He even learned to speak decent, albeit Texas-accent-laced, Arabic.
Today, David splits his life evenly between his wife of 31 years, Karen, at home in Colorado and a deep-water drilling rig on the Gulf of Mexico.
