From YoYo Wiki

Hello, My name is Josh Parker, I am a yo-yoer. I'm one of the admins here and I started this site by holding a hot iron on Derek over at B3studios insisting that he create a mediawiki site for the Yo-yoing community. That was going along just fine until September of 2006 when our hosting company decided to drop us. So I asked Mr. Harper Reed (who runs www.howtoyoyo.com ) if he could host us and he agreed, but after another year of that the Yo-Yo Wiki admin team decided that we just don't have the tools to properly manage the wiki software ourselves so we contacted Wikia who agreed to host us and keep the software up-to-date and now I can breath easy.

I have owned yo-yos and played with them all of my life but I learned man on the flying trapeze in 1999 so that why I consider 1999 the start of my yo-yoing. I also speak juggling very fluently, I started juggling in 1995 while I was working at a Boy Scout camp in northern Wisconsin.

I have lived in Minnesota since 1988 and I helped started the College for the Easily Amused in 2000 with Doctor Popular. I'm very proud of the college as it continues to flourish and grow with now 3 chapters world wide. Um, I guess it is also important to note that I used to work at Air Traffic Kites and Games in Roseville Minnesota.

That's all about me! If you have something to say about me then edit this page or goto my talk page :)
