Hello fellow Steemians,
Thank you to all of my followers! I appreciate all the support. It is time for me to introduce myself since I've been here more than a week.
This introduction picture is of me yesterday at a beach in Santa Monica.
I'm just a human being trying to survive on this planet like the rest of you. I reside in the US but love to travel the world. My passions include travel, photography, food, poker, women, sports, philosophy, crypto, weed and life. I spent a lot of time on the tennis court in the earlier stages of my life. I traveled to many tennis tournaments and had success at many levels. There was a large poker boom in my college days that caused me to shift my focus to poker. I spent so much time on the poker tables I no longer had time for the tennis court. Then the crypto boom came about and for the last year, I have shifted all my focus to crypto.
I have spent countless hours researching crypto over the last year and obviously this included reading many articles on Steemit.com. However, I only recently joined the community after 
I earned a degree in economics but you don't need one to appreciate the economics of Steemit. This well designed system actually makes your vote count. The idea of a decentralized media platform that belongs to the people fascinates me.
All Steemians should ask themselves what they can bring to Steemit. I will bring new members to the platform who have value to share. I will spread positive vibes throughout the community. I will share my knowledge and experiences. I am happy to be a part of the Steemit community and I will do what I can to help it continue to grow.
Thanks for reading and thanks again to my followers!
