(Picture from my recent trip to Ireland)
Seems I am late in posting an introduction. A friend who thought this was a great platform to learn from others, share experiences and be able to bounce ideas off others who may have a different point of view; referred me to Steemit. Thus far, (limited experience) it is a bit overwhelming, there is so much info, so many people and the knowledge that is freely given is great.
So a little about me, I grew up in West Virginia (not western Virginia). Went to college to be a photographer, until I realized it was not for me and joined the military, was in for 8 years before getting out. From there I moved around the east coast as required for my profession in IT. Started at the very bottom of IT with physically pulling cables, learned and was promoted; now I am a VoIP engineer at one of the world’s largest IT companies. I have lived in a wide variety of places, everything from very liberal to very conservative, Large cities to places it would be hard to find on a map (without Google’s help), and traveled to a foreign country or two, all offering a different perspective, and a learning experience. In my opinion if you are not learning things, and making memories, you are not taking in the world around you.
My main hobbies include hunting, traveling, brewing (mostly ciders), gaming and I just started blacksmithing (forging). I will make follow up post on each of these, and go a little more in depth.
You're official now, @mbrown121500..haha intro post complete
@finnian has mentioned great things about you and I look forward to chatting sometime!
It's a lot to learn here on Steemit, but you'll find yourself in no shortage of support, bud! We've got your back. Looking forward to a great year for us here on 2018 and I'm glad you hopped on this train - it's about to start rollin'
Stay Free & Steem ON!
Yeah, I made the account earlier mainly to post about the brewing that Finnian was working on, and make sure that is it documented for future reference. He finally talked me into actually working on my account and being more active. (he sure is a resistant one.....)
Well I'm glad his persistence paid off and got you back here man. There's a lot of things going on that will make it all worth your while.. Did Finnian drop you the discord link? I look forward to chatting about crypto and trading.. I hear you're the man to talk to 😉
Have yet to see any forging posts here, so that might do extremely well! Enjoy your weekend
Congratulations. This post is featured in today's Muxxybot Curation post.https://steemit.com/curation/@muxxybot/muxxybot-curation-48
Thank you!!
Nice intro post @mbrown121500. May I ask what games you're into?
Currently playing Life is Fuedal, Rocket league, PUBG, Ark and used to be heavy into Eve Online. Obviously played some LOL, WoW, escape from Tarkov, some CS:GO, and a bunch of others. What about you?
I play Life is Feudal too for the fortification and physical defense aspects of the game. It is hard and challenging too.
I used to play WoW ages ago... nowadays:
Blizzard Games: Warcraft III, Diablo III, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm. My Blizzard handle is JBGarrison72#1743
Steam Games: Planetside 2, Napoleon Total War, Shogun Total War, Dawn of War II, Crusader Kings II. My Steam handle is JBGarrison72.
EDIT: Oh! And I also play Minecraft (multiplayer server survival mode... again, as JBGarrison72)
O yeah, forgot about HOTS, and DIII.
I play a bit of planetside 2, mostly during the large LAN parties me and a couple buddies go once a year.
Planetside 2 I'm on Connery Server and play as the NC (of course, ...liberty or death!) lol
That's another reason I play Life is Feudal. There's no government, and the players control the economy, whether there is war or peace, etc. Just like in real life too, there's a high incentive for people to be cooperative. If you ever consider trying it, please let us know.
Now I'm intrigued! That sounds like exactly my cup of tea. I'll be sure and notify both of you if I manage to get time to try it out! My eyes are now thoroughly peeled.

Hello! Welcome to the Steemit Community! I can't wait to see your content
Welcome to Steemit
Thanks, thus far seems like a great community, lots of great people with knowledge to share.
Beautiful country there and your friends were right about Steemit. I hope you post about forging (as opposed to foraging :) Nice meeting you and have an awesome 2018!
I plan to document my way through it, goal is to take a couple classes locally, and then hopefully fabricate my own forge and start creating things myself.
I had to read the post again and thought it said foraging. haha
I was hoping someone would catch that play on words! ;)
Do you have any other accounts for people to look you up and connect to? I know you have a YT channel that you post some really cool streaming videos to for example!
Will work on linking those in the next couple days.
I see you don’t have a Steemit Profile Picture I made a post to make it simple to do and win Steem/SBD. Here
Also here is a contest I have going on https://steemit.com/contest/@isteemithard/earn-high-curation-rewards-on-steemit-minnow-help-contest-everyone-wins

Welcome to steemit :) I look forward to reading your coming posts.
