About the Book

About the Author

david erickson
david erickson

Dave Erickson has been a soldier, scientist, engineer, and mercenary.  But he's also a coach, a father, and an all-round likeable guy. No one knows why.  

He is a student of tactics and Buddhism.  Yes Buddhism.

He applies sober scientific strategies to break a problem into it's constituent parts and then reconstruct it again with new perspective.  He goes where the truth takes him.

He wants to make sure you are happy with the book. Please email me directly at daveerickson@shaw.ca if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas to improve the book.
