First Post and Introduction to Steemit

Hello everyone. My name is Joshua. My family and I currently live in sunny Florida. I work as a systems administrator here in the panhandle. I happened to come across steemit while doing some google searches and decided what the heck, why not give it a try. I've been looking for some sort of a hobby for some time now. Recently I've been very interested in mining cryptocurrencies and trading them on an exchange. I hope to stick with steemit and use it as a place to document and share my adventures along the way. I also hope along the way that i will meet like minded individuals to keep me motivated and maybe make a friend or two in the process.
