Hockey great Wayne Gretzky famously noted, “You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take.”
Don Dahler took these words to heart, causing his entire life to change in a remarkable way. Souvenirs from an Absurd Life presents true stories about a relative nobody once struggling to make rent before he decided he would not accept what appeared to be a dim, boring, unfulfilling future. Instead, Dahler charted a new course for himself, somehow landing an award-winning career as a network correspondent and news anchor, covering a vast array of subjects, including wars, the attacks of 9/11, and the biggest stories of the times for FOX, CNBC, ABC, and CBS News. Despite the considerable odds against him, Don Dahler took his shot, and he made it.
Don Dahler has been a fixture on national network news for over three decades. During his career, he received every major award for broadcast journalism, including a Peabody, a duPont-Columbia Award, two Emmys, two Edward R. Murrow Awards, and a New York Press Club journalism award. He also covered major news stories, such as global wars, school shootings, presidential elections, and natural disasters. He was the first network correspondent to report live from the scene on 9/11. A summa cum laude graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, his career as a journalist, filmmaker, novelist, and biographer led him to over 120 countries, often living in places like Africa and Asia for months at a time. He was born in Colorado Springs to an Air Force family and now resides in New Jersey with his wife, two children, two dogs, two cats, and a gecko. He is an avid golf, tennis, and pickleball player.
