I am J.R.
I'm a podcast host, entrepreneur, and speaker. I'm also a history nerd who can’t sit still.
I began podcasting after I realized how much I loved talking to people about their stories—and how much of our history is lost when we don't have the opportunity to hear from those who lived it. My podcast, Galveston Unscripted, focuses on interviewing people who have an extreme interest in Texas and Galveston History and getting them to share how history has shaped their life experiences with listeners. The podcast has been featured in Coast Monthly Magazine and has had over 600,000 downloads worldwide since its launch in 2021.
I got my start as an extrovert—I grew up along the Texas Gulf Coast, where I learned to love talking with anyone about anything! I graduated from Texas A&M University - Galveston with a degree in Maritime Administration and a minor in economics. I learned through a decade in the Maritime industry, that I was more interested in people and social dynamics than shipping.
I wanted to talk directly with people and learn their stories firsthand! That's why I decided to start my own podcast: so that I could help others connect with each other and provide historical education by sharing their stories.
My mission is simple: To push the envelope against censorship by creating space for everyone's voice—whether they're famous or not.
