BIOGRAPHY
 Quickly
becoming known as one of the funniest writers around, Dave Meurer’s series of
books are somewhat useful guides to marriage, family, culture, God, and
flammable household appliances. They go after your funny bone while
simultaneously making insightful points about the Christian faith.
Besides
being a writer, Dave Meurer is also a dedicated husband and the father of two
boys, and it’s from these experiences—and some of the humorous situations that
arise—that Meurer mines the comic gold of Boyhood Daze, Daze of Our Wives,
Out on a Whim, and Stark Raving Dad.
When
not debating his sons on the merits of eating zucchini or inadvertently
mangling his wife’s prized plants with a weed trimmer, Dave works in the
California office of a
Member of Congress. He received a dual degree from California State University,
Chico, in
Political Science and Information and Communication Studies and his current
position requires him to serve as a liaison to state and local elected
officials as well as to the general public. David travels extensively through
the district spending much of his time on many complex and controversial
issues.
Because
of his often stressful job, humor and humor writing in particular have become
valuable emotional outlets. The ability to laugh—at himself,
at wry observations he makes about his family—not only keeps him sane but
translates to the page without losing a chuckle.
A
talented writer whose humor columns and other articles may be found in major
magazines like Focus on the Family and HomeLife.
He has had a regular column in New Man Magazine for many years. Dave has won
numerous writing awards and honors, including the top scholarships from the
California Newspaper Publishers Association, the Gannet Foundation, and the Laymen's
National Bible Association.
In January 2007 Dave was a featured on
the 700 Club on his life.
The
entire Meurer family makes their home in California.
DAVE
EVEN MAKES HOUSE CALLS (almost)
Would
you like to invite Dave Meurer to your retreat, convention, special event,
wedding, or small regional conflict involving NATO?
Dave
does a limited number of speaking engagements each year, typically to church
groups that have dramatically lowered their standards. If you
would like a speaker who is waaaay too immature for the deacon board, but who
has a strong "marriage and family" message hiding under all that
merriment, Dave might be your guy.
