Daniel “Dan” Nugent

Daniel “Dan” Nugent is a retired United States Air Force veteran with nearly forty years of experience in military logistics and supply chain management. He holds a Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Organizational Behavior and has written extensively on leadership, military operations, and organizational effectiveness through professional military education programs, including the Air War College.

A lifelong student of history, Dan has traveled extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. His journeys have taken him to the Holy Land, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Italy, and numerous other countries. Among these experiences, living in Italy fostered a deep appreciation for the ancient world, where Roman roads, ruins, fortifications, and cities brought history to life.

For more than thirty years, Dan has taught religious education to adults and teenagers, sharing his passion for Scripture and the historical context of the early Christian Church. His interest in the people and events described in the Book of Acts inspired him to explore the untold stories that may have unfolded behind the biblical account.

Drawing upon decades of leadership experience, historical study, international travel, and faith formation, Dan seeks to create historical fiction that is both engaging and faithful to the world in which the first Christians lived.

Dan lives in North Carolina with Gigi, his wife of thirty-three years, and their youngest son. He continues to work in logistics for the Department of Defense while pursuing his passion for writing.

In his debut historical novel, Dan invites readers to step into first-century Philippi and experience the dramatic events of Acts 16 through the eyes of those whose lives were forever changed. Dan believes the message in those stories can continue to change lives today.
