David Margrave

Publisher: Incorgnito Publishing Press

The entirety of our monetary system has been proven to be flawed by a small-town South Pasadena, California plumber. How flawed? He paid not only his bills and the IRS, legally, in gold and silver coins, he never utilized standard notes, checks or credit cards for over 30 years.

David never set out to "beat the system." He set out to work within the system, as defined to the letter by our lawmakers and founding fathers. To get there, he has fought federal politics, faced prison time, divorced his wife due to bureaucratic necessity, was threatened with his fair share of violence and death threats and is considered a "conspiracy theorist" by many.

His years of research into the history of money and coins in the United States and his unparalleled knowledge of the IRS code, set this David on a crash course with the Goliath IRS that only Howard Hughes before him had dared attempt.  He is the only known American to have lived entirely on the gold standard, legally.

About Michael Conant

Michael Conant is the publisher and founder of Incorgnito Publishing Press. Before entering the world of book publishing, Michael spent over twenty years in b2b publishing as a circulation, sales, and marketing executive where he managed products across several industries, with a concentration in financial markets.


Prior to a publishing career, Michael pursued a love of theater as an actor, singer, director, and producer in productions at regional, summer stock, and dinner theaters. Michael introduced NY audiences to the premier of Hal Shaper's musical adaptation of Jane Eyre, which included a very young Alyssa Milano as Rochester's ward, Adelle. 


After moving to Pasadena, CA, Mr. Conant joined forces with a group of Mito Moms and lead their effort, as the founding president, to secure non-profit status for their newly formed, CureMito. The new organization helped to raise awareness and funding for Dr. Richard Boles' Mitochondrial Disease research at Los Angeles Children's Hospital.


In between publishing duties and new writing efforts, Michael plays a lot of tennis with South Pasadena, Arroyo Seco teammates, and tries to spend time visiting his family and getting "puppy" kisses from his niece's lovable, crazy Bernedoodle, Bentley.
