I've only been on Steemit for a little over a month but it feels like forever...
Crazy how time flies when you are having fun right?
I thought I would share a little about my life, backstory and how I stumbled upon Steemit. And with this story, hopefully you will get a better feel for who I am and exactly what I hope to bring here to the community.
Hi, I'm Jon :)
I've been working from home since about 1999 part time and making a full time living from my online endeavours since 2003.
I co-created and own web services such as RocketResponder.com (a fully featured email marketing platform), Trck.me (a simple to use analytics tool for those of us that can't figure out Google analytics to save our lives) and countless other websites over the years.
I've been blogging for just as long as well so Steemit fit me like a hand in glove. Who needs WordPress when you have Steemit ;)
A little bit about myself....
I'm married to the most amazing woman in the world. She said yes to my horrible attempt at being romantic 3 years ago and we've been enjoying our journey together both as newlyweds and baby Christians as well. God blessed me with this incredible woman and I still can't believe she said yes lol
I had my first son when I was only 24 years old and am so lucky to have such a great kid. He's a teenager now who doesn't talk back, actually cleans his room and does really well in school....So please wish me luck...But so far so good!
And then of course, my wife and I decided to have a child.....After I turned 40! 16 years after my first son!!! Fantastic timing I know but this little bundle of joy has been such a blessing. Crazy to think I'm starting over as a new father at 40 years of age....It has it's moments for sure...
(This pic was taken after Buffalo's exit from this years playoffs...Poor kid is already learning what it's like to be part of Bills Mafia.)
Originally from Toronto, Canada.....Eh! I'm a die hard sports fan which includes screaming, cheering and yelling for the Toronto Raptors, Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Maple Leafs and of course....My beloved Buffalo Bills.
Other than that....I'm a dude in love with the hustle!
I love working online! I feel so blessed to be able to do this for so many years and continue to grow each and every day. There is nothing better than the '2 flights of stairs commute' to my home office. You just can't beat it :)
I'm extremely bullish not only Steemit but the entire crypto space in general. I remember the same feeling of excitement when I first got started online back in 1999 and something tells me, we are only warming up in this space.
Hopefully my years in online business, email marketing and personal development can help some of you as well. However I consider this as embarking on a journey together. I will be learning more from you than you from me, I almost guarantee it :)
As for my channel / blog here on Steemit. I'll be doing weekly live streams on Dlive, videos on Dtube, posts almost daily as I continue to stumble around this platform and learn the in's and out's.
It's not always going to be rosy but it's going to an experience!
I can't thank you enough for reading my posts, watching my live streams and engaging with me on Steemit.
It's been a blast so far and I look forward to meeting you all!
Thank you very much for reading my story and I hope it gives you a better idea of who I am :)
