First Book of Isms

DJ Hariford is a lover of proverbs and quotes from respected people. Among them is, “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it,” spoken by actor and comedian Robin Williams. DJ himself has a personal expression: “There is a fine line between genius and insanity.” In his heart, that line between genius and insanity is the perfect place to dance.

There is a beauty seen in and intense attraction to unconventional thought for him. That provides a constant motivation to learn and sparks research into all sorts of topics. Those journeys into research often spill over into the articles he has written over the last many years. His appreciation for looking at things in unconventional ways is clearly seen in his writing and is undeniably a key part of his personality.

DJ doesn’t claim to have any standout qualification or superpower that enables him to do what he does. As a self-proclaimed “Jack of all trades,” with a resume to back it up, he pulls from a variety of perspectives and a wealth of life experiences in order to communicate with a broad audience. As a man of humble beginnings and one who has been down some of life’s harder roads, he seeks to answer the calling of God and be an encourager to all he can reach.
