David Francis Cook, author of The Legacy Series, was born and educated in England. He first immigrated to the U.S. in 1967 and moved to America permanently in the 1970s. His own legacy is steeped in history: in 1917 his grandfather started in the burgeoning aerospace industry, decades later David started as a machinist in the industry, and he worked his way up through several major aerospace manufacturers. In 1982 he started his own business, which grew to the largest wing manufacturing company in the world. He developed into an accomplished writer and speaker in that industry. Selling the business to a Belgian consortium in 2003, David has been studying writing and growing his writing legacy in the two decades since. His travels around the world have enabled him to study and understand other cultures, contributing to this series. In 2006 he built his own 2.5-mile racetrack in North Texas, the region of the U.S. where most of his family and grandchildren live. He also has a home in Canada, from which he likes to write. David's books stress the work ethic, discipline, and deep-rooted values needed to reach for one's dreams.
