Author: Richard David Bach
Bio: Richard David Bach was born in New York City, NY, and grew up on the south shore of Long Island, NY. He acquired a Civil Engineering degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY. ROTC at RPI led to a commission in the Air Force and two years on active duty overseeing design and construction of anti-missile radar sites in the Arctic, after which he accidently migrated to Portland, Oregon, where he studied law at the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis & Clark College. With law school and the bar exam behind him, he joined Stoel Rives, LLP, one of Portland's most prestigious law firms, where he founded and chaired the firm's Environmental Law Practice Group—practicing environmental law until he retired to take up writing. Richard David Bach is the author of the Common Denominator series.
