Hi everyone, I'm @austorms!

I stumbled upon the Steemit platform while trading BTC and ETH on the Poloniex exchange and thought the concept was VERY interesting. I'm a 26 y/o executive of a small electronic repair franchise and am moving towards the VC/cryptocurrency space for my next project. Grew up in New Orleans ('Nawlins for some of you, I'll share my Katrina story in a later post) and moved out to California roughly 6 months ago.

Before my current position, I worked as a business analyst for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, particularly their Identity Access Management System (IAMS), the Kentucky Online Gateway, in relation to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and Kentucky's state healthcare exchange. Big data and numbers are kind of my thing.

Prior to that, I worked as a Marine Analyst at Garmin International, traveling the country and collecting multi-beam sonar bathymetric data on freshwater lakes and rivers and turning that data into usable maps. Again, big data and numbers are kind of my thing.

In my "off time," I enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, extreme sports, photography, writing code, playing League of Legends (@TheMendacium), and I've recently been mining Ethereum, Siacoin, and Steem(soon!). I've always felt most at home in the mountains and near the ocean, and one day will own homes in both.

Here are some of the photos I took hiking Mt. Sopris and Lake Tahoe in the past two years or so. Hope you enjoy!
