Dr. Donald High is a prolific inventor, award-winning data scientist, and celebrated storyteller with over 700 documented inventions and more than 300 patents across robotics, AI, blockchain, and aerospace. A former Chief Scientist for Walmart, Chief Data Architect for the IRS and U.S. Marine, Dr. High brings a unique blend of humor, imagination, and technical brilliance to everything he creates.
His books, ranging from whimsical children’s adventures to sci-fi thrillers and mythic fantasy, capture the magic of invention and the courage of unlikely heroes.

When he's not writing or speaking on AI and innovation, you’ll find him lifting weights, exploring new tech frontiers, or spending time with his six children and nine grandchildren. He believes the best inventions, like the best stories, are built through collaboration and love.
