David McMann White resides in Charleston, West Virginia where he teaches Electrical Technology at Carver Career and Technical Education Center.
David and his wife, Philann, enjoy taking advantage of the many outdoor opportunities available to them in the Mountain State. His passion for music and nature is evident in his writings.
As a boy he spent his summers and occasional weekends discovering the natural wonders of Greenbrier and Monroe Counties in West Virginia. His grandfather's farm bordered what was at that time hundreds of acres of wilderness. It was there that he gained an interest in the underground world hidden below the fields and forests. To the dismay of his parents David would find his way to one cave or another at any given opportunity.
David is the father of three children. His lifelong interest in the arts and nature is reflected in the career paths that his son and two daughters have chosen to travel.
David graduated from Charleston High School in 1967 where his favorite subjects were music and literature. He continued his education at Potomac State College. He also attended Beckley College, and West Virginia University Institute of Technology.
David is an avid reader and finds great satisfaction in writing.
