David L. Page owns and operates Warped Minds as an intellectual hobby designed, in part, to avoid driving his wife and daughter crazy. Despite what some folks might say, he is not a bad guy. A few head injuries and concussions over the years may have warped his mind, but they did not break his spirit.
David holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee, a fine hillbilly institution tucked into the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. He now puts roughly twenty-five years of formal education—from kindergarten through graduate school—to use as a research scientist specializing in 3D computer vision.
In his professional life, David has published more than 50 articles in international journals and conference proceedings, collecting nearly 3,000 citations along the way—most of them, no doubt, hogwash. Links to his scholarly work can be found on ResearchGate and Google Scholar. He has also worked on several patent applications, though only one survived the gauntlet and made it all the way to publication.
Besides science, David is an amateur political junky and has been active in politics since the age of ten when he first volunteered for his Uncle Momo’s campaigns in Sullivan County, Tennessee. He’s been known to knock on doors and repair campaign yard signs for various local politicians, including former Senators Bill Frist and Fred Thompson, during the Republican Revolution in 1994.
Warped Minds has nothing to do with David’s day job. The project is a hobby, the books are personal, and unlike his scientific work, the books have exactly zero citations. David lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, with his wife, Lisa, and their daughter, Grace.
