Hello, my name is Javier and I currently live on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I am originally from California but ended up in Brooklyn, New York where I spent over half of my adult life. My wife says I am a New Yorker but I just can't deny my Los Angeles roots.
My family and I moved to Puerto Rico in 2013 to help take care of some family responsibilities. We never really planned on staying here but we fell in love with the island and its people. As a family, we love adventure and we have done some amazing things here. I can't wait to share some of the exciting things we have done.
I am also an entrepreneur by heart and love to help people. My wife and I worked as Vitamix demonstrators and were able to help hundreds of people here on the island take their health more seriously. We had tons of fun making healthy smoothies, ice creams and soups for people to try at our free demonstrations.
While here on the island, I got bit by the whole Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency bug. It was further escalated after experiencing hurricane Maria in 2017. It was impossible to access cash through the banks for almost 2 weeks and if you could, you were only allowed about $50 after spending 8 hours waiting in line. That's when I realized how Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies could help in situations like that. I am now working on helping the people of Puerto Rico learn about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
I look forward to sharing and learning all about my fellow Steemians!
