J. D. Davis has been a fan of the music of Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley much of his life. He spent several years researching the lives of these men for this book.
Davis was raised in Quitman, Texas, a quiet community in the piney woods of East Texas. He earned a bachelor’s degree (with highest honors) in economics from the University of Texas and later received a master’s degree from SMU. A successful businessman and entrepreneur, he achieved the rare distinction of partnership in his twenties at a major actuarial consulting firm, where he continues to manage a large practice. He has three daughters and lives near Dallas.
