Hello, Steemit Community!
Introduction
I am Jason Ziegler and I am living in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.
Family Life
I am engaged and the father of two children.
Work
I am self-employed as an internet marketing consultant who specializes in providing Infusionsoft support and implementation. In 2014 I co-founded a marketing agency, Insightful Automation, with a friend.
Interests
My interests outside of my work include:
- philosophy
- politics
- economics
- web development
- cryptocurrencies
- gardening
Philosophy
Over the past two years I have been increasingly interested in philosophy thanks to Stefan Molyneux.
Politics
As long as I can remember I have been interested in the way the world works (or doesn't) Son of a Republican father and a Democrat mother, I was early introduced to political debate. Rejecting both of my parents, I was heavily influenced by socialism and communism in University until I realized that far from being a path towards utopia these were both oppressive in nature and luckily stumble upon more libertarian/anarchist ideas thanks to Ron Paul.
Economics
As silly as it sounds, I have been interested in economics since the first time I played SimCity. The idea of managing finite or limited resources is fascinating to me. I am trying to study a lot of the material put out by the Ludwig von Mises Institute.
Web Development
I am a novice web developer (my job requires basic knowledge) and am continually trying to improve my grasp of HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and MySQL.
Cryptocurrencies
Introduced to cryptocurrencies in 2014 by Max Keiser, I was immediately aware of how disruptive and beneficial cryptos would become. I have been following the space ever since.
Gardening
I have been #gardening since 2013. Here is a picture of my garden. It looks a little sad because the temperature here is 105F.
Parting Words
I am very happy to be a part of the growing #Steemit Community and look forward to growing with it.
