Hi Fellow Steemians 
here...
How did I get here? (Steemit that is...)
I started studying and investing in crypto about a two months ago. Like many others,
I consumed countless hours of YouTube content on crypto. I would always see these
two interesting characters...well gentlemen by the names of 
talking about Steemit and how powerful it was. After a week or two studying Steemit and
how to write an epic post on Steemit, I finally decided to go for it!
Special Thanks
About Me
I currently live in New York and have been married to my lovely wife Angela for 13 yrs.
**My motto is: **Solving Today’s Problems Through Music, Technology and Engineering!****
Let me explain...I am an Electrical Engineer (Virginia Tech) and have worked for ATK, Corning and General Electric (GE). I enjoy electrical/controls design, automation, programming, web design, graphics design, computer networking and robotics. I balance my analytical "left brain" nature with playing/ creating music.
I play several instruments including: piano, keyboards, organ, guitar, bass guitar, drums and alto sax. Currently I play guitar and keyboards for a church in Albany, NY and do freelance gigs as well. We actually created a jazzy/soulful kids cd (Kidz Play Vol. 1) to benefit Operation Smile.
Lastly, I invest in real estate, stocks, crypto and am establishing my own residential/commercial contracting company. Oh, in my spare time I love to travel! My wife and I started a travel blog and I will definitely share our experiences! www.qwikvacay.com
So What is the Point?
My goal on Steemit is to share musician tips, robotics projects, crypto lessons learned, help provide technical solutions to this community. I want to be inspired and help others get inspired because quite frankly, life is precious and too short not to be happy!
