About

A blog really is early 21st century.  It’s 2009 as I write this, and a blog already seems, well, dated.  Still, it has its uses.  I hope to post stories, ideas, experiences, and sometimes just stuff I make up.  Most of all, I hope to get people to stop nagging me to write!

Why Junkyard Wisdom? Because with all due respect to Robert Fulghum, all I really need to know I learned in the junkyard. My father always had a junkyard when I was growing up, so I worked in one as early as I can remember. It wasn’t a pleasant place. But it was filled with magic, and I hope to touch on some of that in this blog.

As for other “about” stuff, I’m a Californian, own a real estate business, lead a missions organization that focuses on educational and spiritual development of kids in Belize, sit on several non-profit boards including my alma mater Westmont College and The SOLD Project, attempt to follow Christ, am married my high-school sweetheart and help her with her olive oil business, have two grown kids that I’m deeply proud of, and should probably take a 12-step program to stop me from being an impulsive entrepreneur.

Thanks for dropping by to visit Junkyard Wisdom!
