David R. Remer founded the Living Owl concept and web site, to reflect and offer the wise lessons of his life, and those of others to the general public living in America, and elsewhere, if the shoe fits.
Remer quit high school in the 10th grade (1965) and went to work in stage theater as an actor and construction crew member. Coming out of a hippy hitch-hiking wanderlust phase In 1972, he enlisted in the U.S. Army where he served 3 & 1/2 years trained as a combat medic and psychiatric technician.
Upon leaving the Army in 1975, Remer used the GI Bill to graduate from the Univ. Of Texas at San Antonio, having majored in psychology and studying philosophy. He worked as a counselor for federal prisoners in a halfway house program, as a psychiatric technician at an adolescent hospital, and gymnastic coach.
After graduation in 1981 he moved to Kansas City, Mo. where he worked as the managing director of Avila College's Performing Arts and Communications department. After getting married, he moved back to San Antonio, Texas in 1984 to later work as an insurance claims adjuster for 5 years until his daughter was born.
Remer then became a house Dad raising his daughter. While raising his daughter as the wife brought home the bigger share of the bacon, they bought 5 acres of land and Remer built their own home with his own hands and tools by day. And by night, got into the online Bulletin Board Service industry, which preceded the public internet. He is a self-taught VB programmer, web site designer and developer. Remer has been the managing editor and a writer, since the end of 2003, for the political debate web site known as WatchBlog, founded by Cameron Barrett.
In 2006, Remer founded the national political action committee, Vote Out Incumbents for Democracy, and currently serves as its president. His new internet projects include this Living Owl web site and PoliWatch, a political essay site for up and coming political analysts, writers, bloggers, and activists.
