Hello Everyone,
My name is Vincent Briatore and I've been on Steemit a few months now but have just now gotten around to making an introduction post. I'm very excited about dedicating more time, and money to this growing platform.
I'm a 33-year-old Italian-American Entrepreneur. I grew up in Italy and moved to the United States when I was 17. My mother is American and my father is Italian.
Right after moving to the USA I joined the U.S. Army and server nearly 6 years as a Scout out of Ft. Knox. I also spend time in Ft. Bragg as a Weapons Sergeant, Ft. Benning, and was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
After getting out of the military I worked a number of odd jobs, including Target, bartending, and even worked as a Concierge at the Seelbach Hilton Hotel in Louisville, KY. I also attended and subsequently dropped out of many Universities including Indiana University and Penn State.
At 27 I started my first company called Imperative SEO in Providence, Rhode Island while I was going to school at Brown. It was a marketing consulting company that focused on Search Engine Optimization.
In the years that followed I started and sold many online based ventures, and invested in many aspects of the internet including domain auctions.
After a stint investing in real estate in Phoenix, Arizona I took some of those profits and bought up some Bitcoin and Ethereum. It was my initial 45k investment in Ethereum at around $4 that truly changed my life!!
After making a few million in ETH I started actively trading Altcoins and 10x'd my holding in a matter of months. During that time I also started a Youtube channel at: http://youtube.com/ethereumevangelist.
Not everything I've done is worthy of praise. Back in October, I spent 6 weeks in Los Angeles County jail after being arrested out of the Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica drunk as a skunk. That's not here nor there, but everyone makes mistakes I suppose. So why hide it?
YouTube has been a great way to share my journey with everyone within the cryptocurrency community. My 2018-2019 goals include reaching a net worth of 100 million and really investing time and effort into my new YouTube channel (Think BIG, right?).
The videos I make daily on YouTube have, in all honesty, been even more rewarding than money. I truly try to be as transparent as possible, in an effort to give a form of value, and entertainment that isn't easily found elsewhere on the internet.
To everyone who has subscribed to my channel, and/or that now follows me on Steemit, I want you to know that I'm eternally grateful to have you "on board". I know that life is fleeting, and time is valuable. I will never take for granted what you all have made possible for me: You have truly given purpose to my life.
Words cannot express my gratitude. All I can say is that as long as you are watching, I'll keep producing. :D
Yours truly, truly yours
Vincent Briatore
