(Stands up) Hi Steemit community my name is Brent ......... (silence) I said HI MY NAME IS BRENT.
(steemit community) Hello Brent
(still standing) I am a 44 year old male, married, my wife's name is Shane. I have 3 children named Cassidy, Blaide and Dylan and I have a sausage dog named Rambo, yes he might be small but his personality fits his name. We are a loving family with old core values set in place, communication is key to any issue and advice is given freely, although the choice is always up to the individual to make whether good or bad and sharing in the consequence of that choice is part of the learning curve.
(steemit community) So tell us something about yourself Brent as this is your first post and you are supposed to be INTRODUCING YOURSELF here ....
(still standing) Damm I thought you would have missed that ....... OK so you would like to know something about me, hmm.... I am a creative individual that has studied 3D Architecture, I have over 20 years experience in my field.
(steemit community) Hold on, Hold on ...... come on Brent this is not an interview, we are friends here, open up to us.
(still standing) Ok I got it, you want to know my life's story? The short version?
(steemit community) Yes we want to know you and who you are, what you are about and what you would like to bring to the community, stuff like that.
(still standing) Right (cracks knuckles) here we go. I was born and raised in Cape Town South Africa, it is an amazing place, and did you know, (fun factoid) Cape Town is the only city in the world that forms part of a National Park, the actual city is part of it. Uhmm any case, when growing up with my parents and brother in a loving environment, we stayed in a town called Kommetjie, I learned to surf from the age of 10 years old, so growing up was all about the beach having fun in the sun and exploration, this was of course the way back in the late 80's early 90's (gosh I sound old).
Finishing school I was uncertain what I wanted to study, my dad found an add for Architectural studies which fell right into my line of sight (as they say turn your passion into a career and you will feel like you never worked a day in your life) and so through the years working for many companies I have had great success.
About 2 years back I was retrenched so sticking to my roots I perused my passion, I opened my design studio and my business is doing great. I will add a Facebook link to my business website. https://www.facebook.com/acid.unreal | https://www.facebook.com/GREEN-ROOM-Designs-259810097797479/
(steemit community) Where did you hear about us?
Well I was at a family braai/barbecue and my brother @Therneau and his wife @Jusipassetti told me about this amazing community and how it has impacted their life in a positive way. I thought to myself this sounds like my kind of place and went to do some research. By golly I want to be part of this community what a wide variety of topics what an amazing creative bunch of people, Steamit is the community for me and I am so excited to be part of such an awesome group, I only wish more people would be part of this community.
(steemit community) So what do you want to bring to our amazing community?
Can I sit please this is taking a while. (Steamit community gives a laugh sure) What do I want to bring to the community? That is a very deep question give me a moment to think. (I think I hear crickets chirping .... lol)
What I want to bring to the Steamit community is good quality content, insightful and meaningful commentary something that will enlighten people that I have experienced personally in my life, something that has helped me grow as a person and something that has helped my family (there is no greater reward than adding to another persons life and assisting them to succeed no matter what the challenge is). Writing about my company projects bringing understanding in my 3D modeling and why it is so important and such a cost effective solution.

Welcome, my friend! I noticed that you used the "introducemyself" tag twice. You need to only use it one time. Also, try to add more tags. I always use the maximum (5).

@omarf Hi there thank you for the comments, I watched a youtube video before posting so I am a total noob here lol, in the video he said that I should write (1)introduceyourself and (2)introducemyself which is what I did. Did I do this wrong? also not sure what other tags to add ...... some help here would be greatly appreciated.

Hey @firepower, thanks for the great welcome, glad you like my content. Yeh Cape Town is a very unique city another fun (factoid) South Africa also splits the Indian and Atlantic ocean making for a very diverse sea life as we have both warm and cold water off our borders.
Will carry on posting some interesting stuff and chat soon.

Hi @cryptocatz, thanks for the warm welcome and it is great to be here, I would have to agree that 1973 was a great year and allowed us '73's to enjoy the 80's and I am sure you would agree that the 80's music still rocks the socks off :-).
As you know South Africa was a colony of the Dutch and we speak a bastardization of Dutch which is a mixture of English, German and Dutch our home language is called Afrikaans. So you will get this = Ek is baai bly om jou te ontmoet en ek dink ons gaan lekker praat :-)

This is great :) Welcome welcome! I have been on here for a short while, and i really love it. Can i ask, as a 3d modeller in architecture, what is your favorite tool? Rhino?
I recently learned fusion 360 which i love (mostly), but that is mainly for some 3d printing that i'm doing.
I hope youll have fun on this website, i know i surely have :)

Hi @emilclaudell, thanks for the warm welcome.
Yeah I am super excited to be part of this amazing community.
I Have a National Diploma in Architecture and use 3 applications, AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max and Photoshop. I have not ventured off of 3DS Max as I have over 17 years experience in the app. I will be posting project work soon to show what I have been getting up too :-).
To be honest I have not ventured into the 3D printing environment but must say that I find it fascinating. I will add you to follow you ..... (blushes, not sure if that is the right terminology lol). Looking forward to the interaction.
