Hello Steemers, my name is Branon. (and no, that's not a typo)

I'm a real estate broker and freelance writer/editor, among other things. I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, but have also lived in a number of other Florida and North Carolina cities. I am in the process of relocating to the Cocoa, Florida area after living the last 4 years on a 32-foot sailboat.
I'm an avid scuba diver, freediver, sailor, kayaker, spearo, and well... just about anything ocean or nature-related. I freelance for DeeperBlue.com as well as other publications, blogs, etc. sometimes as I myself and sometimes ghost-writing for a client. I also handle external communications and marketing for a few select clients and companies (some folks just want to focus on their business and leave the writing, correspondence, and marketing to someone else). In short, I like to write, but real estate pays the bills and affords me a casual schedule.
Oddly enough, I owned the STEEM cryptocurrency for months before I ever heard of SteemIt. I've been trading cryptocurrencies for the last several years, and STEEM popped up on my radar a while back in a post by Ryan Wilday, one of the analysts at ElliottWaveTrader.net who runs the Crypto Service. He's generally my go-to-guy for crypto, so I bought into the coin without knowing much about it. (I know, I know.)
A week or so ago, one of our other members made a comment about earning STEEM on SteemIt, and naturally, I was curious. A quick Google search (Uncle Google knows everything), and I signed up for a SteemIt account. Even before I received my account, I told another writer friend of mine about the site. I hope she joins, you'll enjoy her writing about all things crafty and jewelry. She used to be a guru for HGTV and JewelryTV, and she happens to be hilarious and my travel buddy. I recently introduced her to Key West via a pretty intense Duval Crawl, which one of us is bound to write about. But I digress...
In short, (too late), I'm excited about becoming a member of SteemIt and look forward to writing my own articles, sharing interesting things I find, and meeting and learning about some of y'all (yes, I'm Southern, but without the drawl, racism, or flannel). The attached photo was taken of me at about 50 feet under the water off the coast of Fort Lauderdale during a Level 1 FII Freediving Course. I'll be doing an article on the experience, so stay tuned.
And hey, if you're ever looking to buy/sell/lease/rent/manage real estate in Brevard County, Florida, please reach out and say hello. Maybe I'll even consider accepting STEEM for services.
All the best,
--Branon
