I am on a quest to become a modern renaissance man. I’m not all that smart, I just ask a lot of questions.
Life is too damn precious to live without some interesting tales, so here is my attempt at life examined. I collect stories and life experiences. My life is my career, so now I invest everything I’ve got into my job.
My boyhood hometown is your typical, all american rural town, about a forty-three mile stones throw south from the city of Chicago. I left for the city the first chance I got and just about never looked back. There’s too much in this world to stick yourself in one small corner.
I travel. I learn. I build things- from the gifts I give to the places I live. I rebuild things, like vintage motorcycles. I enjoy life experiments. I’m (almost) bohemian.
This blog is my memoir of sorts, for my future grandchildren.
That’s me, age six.
Additional info:
In Chicago I completed a BA in History with a specialization in African-American History. In New Zealand I studied visual arts for a year. In San Diego I completed an MA in Teaching with a concentration in multiculturalism and diversity in education. Though like Twain, I prefer to not let my schooling interfere with my education.
I think that’s about it. Please feel free to connect with me anytime at davidwilliamjr@gmail.com
I’m certain I’d like to meet you.
Oh, I also co-write on a joint travel blog with my delightful girlfriend over at Boheme Love.
