Hi there, I am Brad.
I am fairly new here on this great platform I have found myself getting addicted to quite quickly.
Still soaking in as much information as possible. I just recently set up a rented server with vultr.
The have a great service that allows you to pay in bitcoin :), paypal or a credit card. :( Here if you use this link it has my affiliate code attached that will allow both of us to earn $10 credit towards their services. So if you are another newbie out there thinking of joining the witness circle, I got started using Vultr.Com
A great guide to use, and what I used is a guide created by @someguy123 Using the guide and tools he posted in the post Your guide to setting up a Witness Server (STEEM-in-a-box HF19). A quick shout out too @drakos for helping me complete the final step. This tool works awesome and I highly suggest this method. If you have problems at the very end go to the witness channel on steemit chat here.
I still have a few things to get set up, I am having problems with the Steemfeed-JS - A NodeJS price feed for witneses, but I think with all the trials and errors getting set up as a witness I needed some time to walk away from the computer screen. Any help with other price feeder programs and guides would be useful and thanks in advance for directing me to the best link for that if you can.
I am committed to being a very active and responsible witness. I cannot work a typical job environment setting, and I am available to be at home monitoring, learning, reading and posting on a overtime basis. So as I am still on the very early introduction stages, I expect the learning curve to move along fairly quickly. Please come vote for my witness on the vote witness link You wont see my name in the top 50 but if you scroll down under the list there is a place you can vote for any witness, you will need to populate the section with my witness name brad-saunders. I also recommend voting for @someguy123 & @drakos.
I live with my Common Law wife and her two 8 year old twins. Boy and girl, they are a blast sometimes and other times, well I'm sure you can imagine. I want to start gearing some content for younger audiences, and start teaching the younger generations the great benefits of block chain technology. I also like to dab a little bit in creative writing. So watch for my posts, this ride is going to be a blast....TO THE MOON STEEM TO THE MOON.
I will also be hosting some contests and private leagues for steemit users only. If you are a Sports Fan I have created 4 leagues so far with more to come in the app FireFAN. These 4 leagues are specifically for the leagues NFL, NBA, MLB,& NHL You can enter each league by following the links on my post here. FireFan makes watching sports more competitive more social, and more rewarding. PLAY during live televised sporting events and predict the outcome. Win real life prizes. As the leagues gain steem we will also be giving away SBD to those participants who go the extra mile and are actively playing in our leagues games and tournaments. You can chat with other steemians in the game while you play and stack up those firefan tokens to win real valued prizes.
Thank you for reading this post, following me, and voting for my witness. I hope to see you all in my leagues join up now and I will send you your first 9 tokens for your first live game free. Use promo code "bigprizes" @ FireFan.com.

Hello! I saw that you joined couple months back so this introduction is a long time coming. Have an upvote and I hope you will some day do the same!
As a newcomer to steemit, it's not easy getting those big upvotes so I suggest you to try out @MinnowPowerUp as you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up with steem directly! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I have also made this post where I explain my experience with the service in more depth and show how I earn over $1 a day in upvotes.
thanks I am reading and following...up-voting as well
