About Me…

Jay Thompson here, and for whatever reason, you would appear to be looking for info about me…

Well, you asked, so here are some things about me:

I’m an Army Brat
And a preacher’s kid
I own and operate a real estate brokerage in Phoenix, Arizona
But I consider Austin, Texas my “hometown”. Army brats don’t really have hometowns as we move every 1 to 3 years or so. But I lived in Austin from shortly after high school and twenty years after. It’s home to me.
I have the most amazing wife. Ever.
We have two of the most amazing kids. Ever (though technically they are both adults now).
I wrote a novel, sort of. It needs revision. And a publisher.
I like craft beer.
I hate yard work
I’m a wanderer. (It’s the Army brat thing)
I didn’t graduate from college until I was 38 years old.
The beach calls me. Constantly.
I love music, and have zero musical talent.
Many in my family are world-class singers and musicians.
Life-long learning is cool.
My family comes first. My friends are a close second.
I have had more speeding tickets than I can count.
And I have never been the cause of a car accident.
But I was hit by a drunk driver. He fled the scene. I got a severe concussion, 32 stitches in my head and two broken wrists.
I’ve jumped out of a perfectly good airplane four times.
Roller coasters rock.
One day, I will catch a blue marlin.

(for at least three months)
