And so we grew up.

At 11, my dad moved to the Philippines.

So we all went there, spent a year in the Philippines.

We didn't have a lot of money, so we lived like most Filipinos do, riding the jeepneys, and really got a look at poverty at that point.

I remember at a young age, at 11 years old, I got a real glimpse of poverty.

You know, in my book, my first chapter in my book, American Share of Traditional Values in a Modern World, the very first chapter is welcome to America.

And I talk about the different places I've lived and the different things that I learned from each one.

But every time you come home to America, no matter where you've been, no matter how beautiful those countries are, you just feel like kissing the ground.

You know, it's that welcome to America.

What brought you to, what brought your dad to the Philippines?

So my dad was, he was doing some government contracts for, you know, they would leave equipment for, they would leave equipment in India.

They would do a project in India, leave equipment in India, and then they would put it out to a contract to say, okay, if somebody will contract with somebody to go pick up the equipment in India or government surplus stuff.

We also were scrap metal.

So we did scrap metal.

That was our primary business as I grew up.

So we would collect scrap metal and then we'd ship it off to different places and they would remake steel out of it.

So we did a lot of that as kids.

Most of my life was spent doing scrap metal.

What we did in the Philippines didn't work.

And so we were there for a year and moved back to Arizona, kind of a regrouping.
