Well hello Steemit community!
My name is Kyle Parks and yes as I stated in the title, today is my 28th birthday. WooHoo....isn't it fun getting older? (Said no one ever).
Other than a few posts on other blogs, this is my first official blog post, so please take it easy on me.
As I said before, I am now 28 years young. I live in the beautiful state of Florida and have lived here all my life. I have a feeling that there aren't too many people on this site with my kind of job. I am in the forestry industry, and no I am not a park ranger, more specifically I am a consulting forester.
What does a consulting forester do?
Great question! My main job is to work with landowners that do not know much about the environment or the outdoors even, and show them the potential that their property has. Whether it is how much money they can make with their property growing trees, or how to make their property look as aesthetically pleasing as they want. Basically I get to spend most of my time working in the woods, how can you not love this job?
How did you find out about Steemit?
Another great question! Man you're good! In all honesty, I found Steemit by googling ways to make some extra money in my spare time. When I realized that I could possibly make money by just posting on other peoples posts and writing my own blogs I was hooked. While I'll admit money was the reason I came here, I have realized very fast that this community is not all about making money and I love that about it. Of course I still have a lot to learn about Steemit, STEEM, Steem Power and Steem Dollars.
I have truly enjoyed coming the website and just reading what people have to say. I really love the fact that people can post freely about what they are passionate about.
Well what are you passionate about Kyle?
Man you are spot on with these questions! My true passion is the outdoors and anything that has to do with the outdoors. I also enjoy messing around with nature photography. As of right now I only use my iPhone but want to eventually upgrade to a better camera. I really only take pictures of what I see while on the job.
I feel like I should wrap this up so to finish off, here is a picture of my goofy cat Shadow being weird like he always is. Thank you again for welcoming me into your community!
Welcome!! :) Glad to have you as part of our community! I also live in FL, in the Tampa Bay area, not far from St. Pete. It's nice to see people in somewhat of the same geographical location on here, it just goes to show how much further into fruition this platform has come and the breadth of it's reach! Happy birthday to you mate! 28 is a pretty good age I'd say, you're not too old yet, but you're not too young and naive anymore either! Somewhat of a sweet spot if you think about it. Best wishes and I hope you find much success on this wonderful platform we've got here!
Thank you very much for the kind words! I was actually born and raised down in your neck of the woods but now am in north Florida. And I agree about my age, I still feel young but feel like I am getting old too fast haha.
Welcome to Steemit! :)
Thank you!
Hello Kyle,
welcome to steemit.
I am looking forward to see some pics from your job - especially before and after consultation would be great.
By the way, I am turning 28 next month. I heared that the day you turn 28, you will have backpain, don't hear that well and get grey hair over night. :-€ is that true?
