Randy Striker

Pseudonym for Randy Wayne White.

Randy Wayne White was born in Ashland, Ohio, and spent his early life on a small farm outside Pioneer, Ohio. His summers were spent in Rockingham, North Carolina, his mother's hometown. In the 1960s his family moved to Davenport, Iowa, where White attended Davenport Central High School and competed in baseball, football, and springboard diving. After graduating in 1968 he spent time in travel before settling in Southwest Florida in 1972. Although the Vietnam War was raging during those years, he performed no military service according to his own bio, yet there are persistent rumors that White maintained a classified relationship with a national intelligence agency while working for Outside Magazine and other magazines for which he traveled internationally and wrote. He is also close friends with noted author Peter Matthiessen whom, as has been documented, was co-founder of the Paris Review, which was financed by the Central Intelligence Agency. After "traveling" for five years after high school, White worked for the Fort Myers News-Press for four years during which time he obtained a captain's license. He then bought a used charter boat and operated as a light-tackle fishing guide at the Tarpon Bay Marina on Sanibel Island for thirteen years. White began writing novels while working as a fishing guide. His first seven novels were written under the pen name Randy Striker. After the federal government closed Tarpon Bay to powerboat traffic he became a full-time adventurer and writer. Wikipedia
