Dave Sandersfeld was born in Colorado and going down hill ever since. He has worked for various federal agencies (i.e. U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service) in various natural resource management assignments all across western USA from 1970 to 1990 and he was an environmental engineering consultant, Father Nature Consulting, from 1990 to present. In 1994, he attained a B.S. Degree from Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon in "Technical Journalism" to help me make sense of all environmental engineering and controversy that I have been involved with for decades. Currently, his writing passion is going into a new book documenting pirates and Spanish Galleons along the Oregon Coast from 1565 to 1800s.
