David Ricciardi is an American author who has made a name for himself in the thriller genre. His debut novel, "Warning Light," showcases his ability to weave exciting and suspenseful stories, drawing from his own experiences as an outdoorsman. Ricciardi is known for his adventurous spirit and has lived an extraordinary life that has informed his writing.
Ricciardi's passion for the outdoors has taken him to some of the most beautiful and remote places in the United States and beyond. He has backpacked and camped through the mountains of the western United States and Alaska, developing a deep appreciation for the wilderness and the challenges it presents. These experiences have given him a wealth of material to draw from when creating vivid and engaging settings for his novels.
In addition to his love of the outdoors, Ricciardi has received extensive training from law enforcement and US special operations personnel. He has also had some harrowing experiences while sailing, including waking up for a 2 AM watch aboard a sailboat in heavy weather to find that it was headed the wrong way through the Atlantic sea lanes, with one of the crew suffering from hypothermia. Despite the danger, Ricciardi's training and experience allowed him to take control of the situation and ensure the safety of the crew.
Beyond his outdoor pursuits, Ricciardi is a certified scuba rescue diver and a former ski instructor. He holds a degree in economics and has spent over two decades honing his skills as a bond trader. When not writing or pursuing his outdoor passions, Ricciardi puts his expertise to work in the financial industry. "Warning Light" is his first novel, but readers can expect many more exciting and suspenseful stories from this talented author in the future.
