Pete H is a Houston-based entrepreneur with 17 years running Junky Business, a locally owned junk removal and recycling service that emphasizes donation and responsible recycling alongside traditional hauling. He blends hands-on operations—removing metal, scrap, and household waste—with community-minded programs that divert usable items to local organizations. Before and alongside running the business he studied at Ocean City and trained as an auctioneer, giving him practical skills in valuation and logistics that improve pickup efficiency and resale/donation decisions. Unusually for a small-business owner, he also contributes to open-source scientific software as a Haskell enthusiast, enhancing an ORM project with dynamic accessors and bug fixes. That mix of technical curiosity and street-level operations informs a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to scaling local services. Clients value his fast, friendly, and affordable service coupled with a clear environmental focus.
