Biography

Donald Smith was born into a large family in central Kentucky and suffered incredible loss from an early age — a beloved sister taken by leukemia, a fire that consumed his family’s home and everything they owned. That grief instilled a fierce perseverance that has defined everything he has done since.

A self-taught man in many areas, Donald worked up to ninety hours a week across multiple jobs while developing groundbreaking proprietary technologies in plastic and styrofoam remediation, electrical and energy technology, tire and rubber remediation, potable water systems, and earth-saving green energies — all with far-reaching impact on the global environment.

His published works, including the top-selling Murder the Whistleblower series and RICO: The Perfect Seven Ponzi Scheme, are registered with the Library of Congress and available globally wherever books are sold. He is recognized in the Global Directory of Who’s Who of Executives in Business, and is the recipient of the Congressional National Leadership Award, the Silver Record Award from Prudential Insurance Company, and dozens of additional honors, certifications, and awards.

Donald’s true life experiences and direct involvement in the events he writes about deliver actual accounts of the grief and insufferable losses caused by the few upon the many. His mission goes beyond telling his story — he wants to wake people up.

Resilience Note

While Donald has been plagued by illnesses including multiple cancers, spinal disease, heart failure, coronary disease, neuropathy, paralysis, and diabetes resulting from years of chemotherapy and radiation, he continues to feverishly pursue the completion of his true crime novels — to inform the private sector about the shadowy world of bad actors working under color of law within state and federal law enforcement agencies.
