There is an idea of a Thomas McIntyre. Some kind of absra... wait, that sounds familiar... that's the opening of American Psycho. Sorry, let me start over.
It was the best of times, it was the worst... oh come on, that's Dickens.
Call me Ishma-- Dammit!
Alright, well while I struggle to find an original thought and a clever way to start my "Introduce Yourself" post, let me just take a minute or two to tell you a little bit about me.
I'm a business owner from Orlando, Florida. I'm married, with four amazing children. I'm a surfer, although I'm not as good as I used to be, and I'm a golfer- which, unlike surfing, I'm still as good as I ever was... the only problem is that I was never any good to begin with. Whatever, "spoiling a good walk" and whatnot.
So why am I here? Basically I decided to start writing in order to share my life and experiences with others. From being a single father at the age of 16, getting kicked out of the house with an infant, finishing high school, getting into and going to college while raising a child on my own, meeting the love of my life and getting married, finishing college and starting a business, and now having grown that business into a fairly successful company, I’ve had a very interesting life so far, if I do say so myself. So if I can help some people avoid some of the mistakes I’ve made along the way then my time here will have been well spent.
So that’s it. That’s why I’m here. Not groundbreaking I know, but it works for me. If you’d like to know anything else, let me know in the comment section below, other than that, I’ll see you out here on Steemit!
Thanks everyone!

I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! I explain this initiative on one of my previous post.
There are a number of great content creators on the platform to help you on your journey. I have recently ran into a great postpostvideo series on learning to navigate STEEM. by @roleerob that is great to get off to a great start here on the ecosystem. As I continue to expand this initiative, I continue to find great content and guides for new users such as this from @finnian who not only includes a great step-by-step process of registering for #Steemit but also provides great security and engagement tips as well to help you on your journey. Another great user creating content for new Steemians is @paulag who is creating community backed
