Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Andrews is an accomplished author and international affairs specialist whose career blends immersive cultural scholarship with economic forecasting and storytelling. He holds advanced training from Columbia SIPA and decades of experience producing global economic reports for Fortune 500 clients and media, including on-air commentary as an international trade expert. A polyglot who studied Mandarin and several European languages, his travels and refugee-relief work uniquely inform historical novels such as The English Slave, praised for vivid cultural reconstruction. Earlier in his career he built and edited large-scale econometric forecasts and commodity indices, managing client relationships at Chase Econometrics and founding his own consulting newsletter. Equally comfortable analyzing macroeconomic scenarios and reconstructing four-century-old mysteries in fiction, he brings analytical rigor and narrative empathy to both boardrooms and readers. Based in Laguna Woods, California, he continues to publish in the Empires and Kingdoms series while drawing on a lifetime of field research and multilingual sources.
