Meet our Board
Paul Houseright
President/Founder
Paul has worked in the automotive industry since the age of 14 and has spent decades building, owning, and operating repair shops across the Phoenix Valley. He currently owns & operates his independent automotive repair shop, Houseright & Sons, in Florence, Arizona, and remains actively involved in hands-on automotive work.
Paul is a husband to his wife Amanda, a father of five, and a grandfather. Throughout his career, he has consistently helped individuals and families who could not afford critical vehicle repairs, often providing services at reduced or no cost when possible.
Worthy of Wheels was founded out of Paul’s long-standing desire to create a nonprofit rooted in his Christian faith—one focused entirely on helping people in need gain access to safe, reliable transportation. He believes dependable transportation can be life-changing, and Worthy of Wheels exists to turn that belief into action.
