Nikola Tesla (1856 -- 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor,
electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist
who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern
alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. David Hatcher
Childress, known as the real-life Indiana Jones to the many fans of
his books, is a captivating speaker and the author or coauthor of
over 25 books. He has traveled the world several times over,
seeking adventure and the answers to the mysteries of mankind's
past.
Born in France in 1957 and raised in the mountains of Colorado and
Montana, David's curiosity about the world was piqued at a young
age. He attended the University of Montana where his studies in
oriental culture and philosophy led him to a job teaching English
in Taiwan. In 1976, David left the United States on what would
become a six-year research and adventure odyssey. During this time,
he studied first-hand the ancient civilizations of Africa, the
Middle East and China, sometimes journeying into dangerous
territory along the way (like Uganda during the overthrow of Idi
Amin).
After more than 40 years of investigating these arcane subjects,
David finds his unique views and ideas gaining popularity. He is
currently a co-star on the History Channel show Ancient Aliens.
This popular show is now in its eleventh season and David journeys
to Peru, Bolivia and Mexico for episodes of the show. He has
appeared on Fox-TV's Sightings and Encounters, two NBC-TV specials,
The Conspiracy Zone, and segments for the Discovery Channel,
A&E, the Sci-Fi Channel, the Disney Channel, The Travel Channel
and others. David also appeared on the Canadian television show
Weird or What?, hosted by William Shatner, in its 2011-2012 season.
He is also a frequent guest on nationally syndicated radio shows.
He continues to explore, write and excite people about discovery
through his magazine, World Explorer, and his publishing company,
Adventures Unlimited Press. When not traveling, he divides his time
between his homes in Illinois and Arizona. He has bookstores open
to the public in both locations.
