People Who Inspire
By Walt Carvalho
While sitting on a tableside chair at an event one evening, I noticed a tall, thin man walk over to the table next to me. He placed his laptop case on the table, looked over at me and said, “hello.”
I immediately reached out to shake his hand and exchange the greeting. There was no shaking of hands. Instead there was a hug. You see, as I found out later, Don doesn’t shake hands. He hugs…Everyone!
I knew that evening that Don was someone special. There was no doubt.
Don told stories of his past and shared his dreams of the future. The time was well spent as we waited for the speaker to arrive. He talked about his business partner Tricia, and how I just had to meet her! He talked a little about the events in his life, which led him to meet her, thus presenting him with the opportunity of taking on his present vocation. It’s work that he truly loves and it shows.
Don is a writer, a very good writer. His stories are smooth, seamless and real.
He studied Education and Computers while a student at Michigan State University. He was there for his PhD. There is a story about his thesis, however I think I’ll let Don tell that story someday.
Don has a baccalaureate degree and two masters degrees in Biblical Studies. He has a DD from Golden State University.
Don became a minister after his schooling. He talks about it in one of his speaking engagements, “I was a pastor to the cowboys and school ma’ams in the badlands of Eastern Montana for four years and a missionary in the wilds of Mindanao for another four years.
“I really wanted to be an effective minister but I wasn’t any good at the preaching business. I have a gift of gab and people always liked to hear me talk but they never wanted to do what I would tell them to do.
“Which was really no big deal, since I didn’t particularly do what I was telling them to do either.
“I wasn’t really a hypocrite; I just didn’t realize what kind of human being I actually was.
“Eight years of preaching and missionary-ing convinced me to look for another profession.”
That was the beginning of his writing career. He wrote award winning tech manuals for high tech firms while not understanding exactly what the terminology meant. Which I still find hard to imagine.
Don then became a ghostwriter with a gift of being able to tell other peoples stories, as if looking through their eyes. Don is a ghostwriter till this day.
Don is now the Editor In Chief of 110 Magazine. Tricia Piquero is the publisher of the magazine and Don’s partner in their business.
I’ve been able to share some time, as well as enjoying a lunch with both of them. It was nice to finally meet Tricia after hearing Don say so many good things about her. Don’s description of Tricia was correct on all accounts. I found it interesting how much their lives changed because of their meeting. Life has a tendency of doing that.
Don is very excited about his new project of increasing his Public Speaking as well as the printing of his own book. Don and Tricia are both looking forward to good things with their business, 110 Magazine.
Life is good for Don Huntington today. His goodness truly comes from within.
Get Creative. Get Social.
