Hi Steemit!
I don't want this to be some typical intro, for mine is a story of struggle, of triumph, success and failure. A roller coaster of emotions that can't quite be contained all in one post! But that's ok. We'll get to the details all in due time.
I'm Greg, an Air Force veteran of 13.5 years. A victim of a round of manning cuts that forced me to pick myself up, dust myself off, and (eventually) discover what I'm really made of. I have always been one to challenge myself, so now I get the chance to find out who I really am.
I decided that if an institution like military couldn't take care of me, then I needed to take care of myself. Since significant corporate loyalty seems to be non-existent in the real world these days...I decided to scrounge some capital together and build a business. I've started with my very own franchise: Anytime Fitness. I purchased some territories and an existing location. Now I get to see if I can make it all work. This will be a developing saga as the plot seems to thicken with every passing month.
First, military Major (behold, my serious face):
Now, business owner:
I've decided to name my page "Randomness" since, like all of you, we're complex individuals with a multitude of hobbies and interests. I don't want to be tempted to find a niche and limit myself to that, so I plan to post a variety of things that interest me across a wide range of categories. Maybe we have a lot more in common than we realize...feel free to follow me and find out!
Greg
