Okay I have been here on Steemit since early 2016, and never introduced myself. My focus has been more behind the scenes working on building our @exploretraveler brand, and I really didn't post much. Now that 2018 is upon us I have been told by my family that I should begin sharing what I see, and how I build crypto as a sustainable system that others can follow.
So here is my formal introduction post.
My name is John J Gentry Sr and I have been fortunate enough to have had an exciting, and yet hard life. I am originally from Alaska but have traveled since I was a young teenager, and as a young adult.
I have always loved animals, and raised many that had to be kept as pets because selling them for food was always difficult.
I joined the military at a very young age, and wanted to travel internationally. I soon got my wish, and was in Germany at the age of 18.
I served in the military within several positions, but it was electronics, computers, and programming that I was very good at.
I have my beautiful family, and they have been my focus these last few decades. But everywhere they have always been with me, and we have traveled around the world together.
We together started a travel blog at ExploreTraveler.com and switched to the website in 2013.
I have been involved within many high tech projects from Atomic Force Microscopy to EUV Semiconductor Photolithography. So when Bitcoin showed up on my radar I was interested in it as a hobby, and lost many coins along the way. I really didn't focus on it until 2011, and it was 2013 when I started looking for ways to earn, and integrate it into my own life. Today it is a daily subject for myself, and my family, and it's apart of our focus, and financial study.
I talk about cryptocurrency, and the technology roadmap on my podcast along with other travel related subject matter. For me social media, crypto, finance, and technology are one in the same.
You can follow my podcasts here but downloading my Apps.

I don't really code much anymore but developed teams of people to work on complex projects.
Wherever my teams have gone I have always been willing to go as well. No matter what the disaster or terrorism attacks have been I always try to treat my teams with the respect they deserve.
So this is just a glimpse of who I am and what I do. I look forward to meeting all of you at the different crypto, and technology conferences along the way.

Until next time!

You have been BUSY! Thank you for sharing what you see. Just visited your FB page. I may not be at technology conferences, but if there are animals anywhere in the vicinity, just maybe....they are a link to purity and uncondtional love that I cherish. Thanks again John.

Your welcome @davedickeyyall but I don't really like to talk about it much. Some good times, and allot of bad but hey it's apart of who I am now, and it has helped me help others.
I understand... I served in 88-91 ...
Cant wait your next post, Sir. You have such a perfect life.
Not perfect @suryansah since I only show happy moments or talk about life issues that I think can help others.
Great intro post. I regret that time and circumstance did not allow us to connect at steemfest, but I'm sure we would have had interesting conversation. Perhaps next year. Until then, may you have a prosperous 2018
