David KunkelDavid Kunkel's appetite for adventure once led him far beyond safe borders. In 1969, that hunger landed him inside a Greek prison under a military dictatorship, facing the consequences of a hashish smuggling scheme gone wrong. His experience became te foundation for Locked Up Abroad: An Alaskan's True Story of Adventure, Incarceration, and Escape, a raw, honest, and unflinching account of youth, ambition, survival, and redemption. After serving time and ultimately escaping captivity, Kunkel rebuilt his life with quiet resilience. He worked as an electrical design drafter and later settled in Alaska, where distance and reflection gave him the perspective to write his story. His memoir not only inspired readers across the globe but became the subject of the internationally broadcast documentary series Locked Up Abroad (titled Banged Up Abroad in the UK), dramatized in the gripping episode Greek Border Bust. Kunkel is a graduate of San Jose State University and has worked professionally as an electrical design drafter. David Kunkel's story stands as a powerful cautionary tale and a testament to the human will-not to escape consequence, but to rise from it. Read More Read Less
