J. Eric Lynxwiler

J. Eric Lynxwiler grew up in the suburbs of Southern California and stayed close to home while attending UCLA. It was quite by chance that he hit traffic one afternoon and his quick shortcut turned into a life-altering detour as he drove through downtown Los Angeles’ Broadway theater district. A fixation on 20th century Americana took root on that day as he buried himself in architecture, design, culture and the history of the City of Angels.

Today he is a 20-year docent for the Los Angeles Conservancy, a former Board Member of the Art Deco Society Los Angeles and a current Board Member of the Museum of Neon Art. He interprets his degree in Urban Anthropology through local walking tours and the award-winning Museum of Neon Art's "Neon Cruises" of nighttime Los Angeles. He has researched, authored and co-authored several books on Southern California history.
