About the Author

Dave Bowles developed a love of birds while growing up in his rural home just outside Birmingham, Alabama. He also has a talent for writing, which was first noticed while a student at Jacksonville State University, where he wrote for the school newspaper for four years.

Upon graduation, Dave pursued a career as an Army aviator, retiring at the rank of lieutenant colonel. Dave’s fascination with birds has been a lifelong interest, as has his writing talents, which served him well throughout his military career and subsequent pursuits. As a certified leadership coach, Dave facilitates the development of supervisors, managers and young executives as they navigate myriads of workplace challenges, helping them develop into the best leaders they can possibly be. He also authors widely shared leadership blogs that have a direct impact on the day-to-day activities of leaders at all levels; and sometimes, they are just fun to read.

Dave's motto is, "Be a leader, not a boss!"

Dave and his wife Abby live on the Chesapeake Bay, where they enjoy watching birds and chasing their four grandkids.
