Hello fellow Steemitians, thank you for having me. My name is Vando and by day I sell picks in shovels for the California green rush and by night immerse myself in all things blockchain related (which is how I found you all!) among many other things! While still a newb to this craft, I am a quick study and my only goal is to have meaningful engagement with the community and hopefully offer a unique perspective on the things that I enjoy most. While I am still a relative newb to blockchain technology, I firmly believe in its future and have some interesting ideas I look forward to sharing. I also love photography and the digital arts. While I am limited by an IPhone camera, I have developed some techniques using a variety of apps to create images that I also look forward to sharing with the community. Did I mention that I’m a weed snob? Well, let the truth be told, I am. I’ve been immersed in cannabis culture for the better part of 30 years and have some interesting perspectives and stories to share. I am a family man, with three boys living in the Bay Area. I’ve been a closet writer for most of my life, and feel fortunate to have found a community to share my work. In between the time I signed up for Steem, and being accepted, I have done a considerable amount of research and am very excited for Steem’s future. I am honored to be here. Thank you again for having me.
