Author Information

Mr. Slager lives with his wife Judy and has a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from MIT and a Master of Science in electrical engineering from UCSB. He was a research engineer, futurologist, and scientist at several Southern California and Santa Barbara, California research firms for 35 years, including Convair Astronautics, Lockheed Missile & Space Division, General Motors Defense Research Laboratories, General Electric TEMPO, General Research Corp, and Frontier Technology. In these firms, he was the author of numerous studies, reports, and books concerning classified U.S. Defense matters. While he worked at these firms, he learned how to craft written publications and began to write stories for his own amusement on various topics with an eye to future publication. Previously, he has published the book ""Texas City Tales,"" a collection of short stories about his youthful adventures in the 1940s and 1950s in Texas City, Texas. In this book, ""How We Saved Everyone's Ass,"" Mr. Slager recounts his experiences in the U.S. defense business during the Cold War. He also describes his experience as a retired horseplayer and how he became interested in Taoism/Buddhism. He then presents a logical new version of Christianity/Taoism/Buddhism for Westerners and uses numerous examples from modern science and technology to prove ancient principles, which are intended to be either intuitively obvious or easy for modern Western readers to understand. The book ""How We Saved Everyone's Ass"" is based on the example of Han Shan, the mystical Buddhist/Taoist hermit poet and philosopher who lived on Cold Mountain near Mt. Tientai in today's Chekiang province sometime about 730 A.D.
