David Francis Laborde Jr, born August 1967 in the city of New Haven. Graduated Hamden High School in 1985. Days later, joined the United States coast Guard. Served two years aboard U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Vigorous WMEC627. Participating in missions ranging from drug interdiction, immigration ops, search and rescue, and a few others. Serving another two years as staff at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy as a computer network technician. Having completed 4 year enlistment, enrolled in Southern Connecticut State University to complete Bachelors degree in computer science. While a sophomore in college, entered self employment as a personal computer software developer authoring a handful of systems for use in small business. Most notably, an advanced exercise and nutrition software complete with supplements, books, and seminars. It was fun while it lasted, but eventually, the computerized fitness craze came to an end. I moved over to the corporate world and transitioned to large scale mainframe development where I am currently employed today. As a science fiction author, I am just now making my first work available to the reading community. I promise to adhere to a simple model for Science Fiction\Fantasy. Stories full of action and vision, but most of all, stories with an element of realism and an emphasis on the human experience. That's why I love Sci-Fi...it lets us look at ourselves from a distance, some far away place, some distant future, but always at ourselves. I'm a real Sci-Fi\Fantasy lover and grew up reading Asimov and Herbert, but my all time favorite is "Armor" by J.Steakley. I've been a lifelong believer in the "Ancient Alien" theory(long before The History Channel made it so popular). That means I love futuristic vision, but more so, I love ancient stuff...real, real, real, ancient. If it's older than Egypt, if it borders on the last ice age, I'm into it.
