More precious than gold | B. Wayne Hughes Jr. | TEDxIronwoodStatePrison 2014

B. Wayne Highes, Jr. was born and raised in Southern California. He graduated from USC with a BA in Performing Arts, but his knack and inherent ability in real estate development led him back into Public Storage, the family business, where he continues to serve on its board of directors. He is the Founder and current EVP of American Commercial Equities and its affiliates engaged in the acquisition and operation of commercial properties. In 2013, he founded Serving California, a nonprofit that facilitates healing for people who have experienced suffering, including military families, victims of crime, and inmates looking to rebuild their lives. He has taken strides in addressing the crisis in the California penal system by leading in projects like The Urban Ministry Institute where prisoners are trained as pastors.
