David Pinkston, born in 1948 in Twin Falls, Idaho, is a man of remarkable versatility and resilience. His journey began with his service in the U.S. Army's 10th Special Forces (1969-1972), where he earned airborne status with both the U.S. Army and German forces and completed rigorous mountain and ski training. Following his military service, David built a dynamic technical career, excelling in cutting-edge fields like microwave technology, military communication systems, and integrated circuit testing. He also became a pioneer in computer networking, database programming, and ISP management, eventually supervising the IT infrastructure for a California refinery—a position he continues to hold at age 76.

An adventurer at heart, David has flown and taught hang gliding, climbed mountains, ridden motorcycles, and thrived in rugged outdoor pursuits. Despite being told he wouldn’t live past 40 due to his daring lifestyle, David has defied expectations, embracing life and faith with a bold spirit.

David’s spiritual journey began in 1993 when he came to Jesus Christ, though his path has been unconventional, as he found himself at odds with traditional church settings. His independent study of the Bible and deep personal faith led him to write To Open One's Eyes, a book for those who feel disconnected from organized religion but seek a profound understanding of God and the Holy Bible.

Through his diverse life experiences—marked by perseverance, exploration, and devotion—David Pinkston brings a unique and passionate perspective to his work, inviting readers to discover the hidden truths of scripture and a deeper connection to their faith.
