About the Author

A resident and native of Calgary, Alberta, David Yager was born into Alberta's oil and gas industry. An entrepreneur since 1979, he has been a founder, executive and director of three successful TSX-listed oilfield service companies.

David's journalism career began 40 years ago as co-owner of an oilfield trade magazine. For decades he has been analysing and writing about oil and gas, politics and energy policy. He remains a frequent contributor to trade publications, newspapers, radio and television and has written background papers and policy positions for oil service trade associations since 1991.

In his working career, David has progressed from the remote oilfields to the corner office. As a former oilfield worker and an employer of hundreds more, his perspective has always been bottoms-up; the people not just the products.

From Miracle to Menace is David Yager's first book.
