I'm terrible when it comes to writing about myself. As such this introduction will likely be more about my contempt for the task than about me, for which I apologize – profusely.
When my wife prodded me into joining she was very vocal about all the great things I'd find here. From the wonderful assortment of people to the incredible support systems she'd managed to find herself a part of, where like minded creatives could push each other to new heights and gain the oft deficient alternate perspective. The only thing she didn't tell me was that I'd have to write this thing.
I thought, “I could just do the entire thing in third person.” My first idea is always a train wreck.
My second idea (a profanity laced log of “pivotal moments that made me who I am”) wasn't much better.
So I'm going to go with the (dreaded) old reliable bulleted list. (I did say I was terrible at this, right?)
- Father
- Husband
- Photographer
- Designer
- Geek (largely retired)
- Hermit
Short. I know. But these are the facts and nothing but the facts. As for my more subjective traits, I look forward to hashing those out with all of you over what will undoubtedly be long, enlightening and extremely enjoyable new friendships.
Thanx for having me.

Welcome to Steemit, Jon. Your wife is right—this place is great, esp the community. I think we all come for the money, but the community is the real win here.
What do you like to take photos of? I'm a professional photographer in Japan, so I love all photo talk.
I'm looking forward to seeing your posts.

Ooooo! I've heard of you. All good things but @authorofthings tells me I can't share what she's said. Can't wait to see your work. I did a month in Tokyo with Hello Kitty in the long-time-ago (I'm age sensitive). I miss it.

Hey @j-o-n, Welcome to Steemit, nice introduction and very well elaborate; what to write in a blog is always challenging, even more so in a site as free as Steemit, with almost no borders beyond the site rules of conduct, i don't know what your visionary and smart wife has tell you about this Steemit, but i always suggest new Steemians to read the FAQ as a starting line.
Without anything else to day, I Welcome you to the future.

Wait, how does one retire from being a geek? Unless you mean the chicken-head-biting sort, which I could understand, but then question why only largely retired? :P

LOL! I spent my youth as an accidental technologist. I've only just reached the point where I no longer feel the need to keep up. Now I get calls like, "Dude! My Turbo Encabulator has stopped working!" And I'm like, "Well did you reboot it? Yes? Well I don't know what to tell you." It's kind of nice to be able to do that AND not feel bad about it.
