Hi Steemit, I'm Roger - this is my first post to introduce myself to this amazing community

To all Steemians,

I must say I am very happy to be here, what an amazing concept and innovation we have in Steemit. I have made a few replies in the past 2 days but this is my first personal post. I wish I heard about this platform sooner (I'm sure everyone says that initially) but that being said I'm still super grateful to be in the community before it has gone much passed 250 000 members, so much growth and awesome experiences to be had with this platform and so many more lives still to be positively affected by Steemit and it's technology. I hope to add value wherever I can, I strive to support the communities continuous growth and to be an upstanding member of the Steemit (r)evolution.

My name is Roger Marx. I'm 31, was born and raised in South Africa. I stayed the first few years of my life close to the coast, near Durban and that's probably why I love the ocean so much. I currently live in Johannesburg, Northcliff. My hobbies are cryptocurrency mining and investing, rugby (as a player and a coach), scuba diving, activism and travelling. To pay the bills I do freelance consulting work for Toyota and Ford, I do audits for the various car dealerships but it's not where my passion lies.

I am passionate about helping the World make a mental shift to a better World for all- through innovative ideas and technology, collaboration and creativity. I believe there isn't a problem in this World that we cannot solve. I am spiritual but not religious. I am very open-minded and I always strive to be helpful, to constantly grow and learn and to be the best version of me I can be, as often as I can be (everyone has off days lol)

I play rugby for Pirates Rugby Club and am also a World Rugby accredited Level 2 Rugby Coach.

I enjoy cooking and reading (am I firm believer in constant personal development) as well as the outdoors (I love camping and nature) and travel as often and diversely as I can. I have a beautiful girlfriend whose name is Bronwyn, we have been together for 5 years and are very happy together. Here is a picture I took of her-

I am interested in economics, photography, technology, philosophy, human rights, activism, art, psychology, linguistics and generally living a wonderful life.

I believe it is much better to know a little about a lot than to know a lot about a little. I look forward to meeting as many members as I can, it's great to be here now let's go tell the World about Steemit! Here's to a great weekend to you and your loved one's! Cheers
