David W. Mays
David is married to Sheryl and they have two grown children, Greg and Cindy, and four grand children, Hailey, Damon, Garrett and Maci. David was born in the Midwest, Kansas, and raised in Nebraska. Soon after his high school graduation, 1964, he joined the Air Force.
He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics 1990 from the University of Texas at Arlington. It took twenty-five years to obtain his degree due to his life long dream to explore different lands and learn about civilizations, cultures and people from foreign countries. The Air Force never moved David overseas; in fact, he didn’t leave Texas. It wasn’t until 1977 that he began working as a civilian overseas. His overseas experiences include seventeen years in Saudi Arabia, one year at Guantanamo Bay, one year in Jordan, and three years in Iraq.
The three years working in Iraq precipitated this book. There were so many trials and tribulations for the Iraqi people inside Iraq that it had to be told in a book. Although this book is pure fiction these types of incidents could and did happen in Iraq.

Thanks for you comments and I am glad you enjoyed.
Hi Dave
You could have knocked me over with a feather when I read about your life since Carswell. WOW!! And a published author to boot! Got to buy your book of course. I remember the days at Carswell often and would love to talk to you sometime. If your travels ever bring you anywhere close to Ohio, let me know. I’m just an old retired guy with nothing important to do except babysit my grand- daughters and walk the dog.
thanks – I really enjoy doing this. We have met since you wrote your comment and it was great seeing you. We will continue to visit.
