Chum for Thought: Throwing Ideas into Dangerous Waters

David discusses, lectures and rants, but always in a conversational adult voice. Somehow both an agnostic and true believer, he radiates optimism while still seeking illumination in dark places. His favorite themes are community, virtues, values, and human growth. He will tease you into his world and then send you off to explore your own."

Some of these essays were previously published in David's weekly column in the "Dayton Review." He once described his intent as, "...giving my conservative neighbors something something to discuss and tempting my liberal neighbors to come out of the closet."

David Satterlee is one of those untamed souls who professes an interest in almost everything except mastering brain surgery. His wife lives in dread of his personal library someday crashing through the floor of his office into the living room. Undeterred, he maintains that, "a man knows himself by the books he keeps."
After retiring from a quarter-century of technical and communications work in industrial electronics, controls, and computers, he spent a decade as a consulting herbalist, and went on to manage media production for a Utah publisher. In all this time, David pursued a personal quest to understand why we think, believe, and act the way we do. He developed from a lay minister, through interests in meditation, natural healing, psychology, and philosophy. Now mobility and neurologically disabled, David does what he can for family. His personal goals are to read, think, write, repeat, and help save the world.

About the Author

David Satterlee has eclectic interests that drive the broad range of his work. His very human stories often explore developing relationships. His essays advocate for personal, family, community and societal growth. “[His writing is] humorous, bold, and adventurous all at once … channeled through a facility for language and the music of words.” David writes to tease, teach, and entertain. He does not spoon-feed every detail but, like other good literature, leaves morsels on the table to be picked up, examined, chewed and savored.

After retiring from a quarter-century of industrial control, computer and communications work in manufacturing and refining, David spent a decade as a consulting herbalist, and went on to manage media production for a Utah publisher. In all this time, He pursued a personal quest to understand why we think, believe, and act the way we do. He developed from a lay minister, through interests in meditation, natural healing, psychology, and philosophy. Now mobility and neurologically disabled, he reads, writes and hopes to make his part of the world a better place.
David and Dianna live in a small, rural Iowa town deep in the middle of the middle of elsewhere. Despite being married, they are exceptionally-good friends. They recreate with cats, mostly, in a remodeled 1880s Workman's Victorian home right on Main Street. Dianna is a retired elementary school teacher with additional experience in library science, gifted/talented programs and music. She still gives music lessons and indulges a passion for writing and playing music "in the cracks." In their spare time, they entertain neighbors with their liberal and eccentric antics.
