Hello everyone. My life long friend @sykochica got me interested in Steemit so here I am. I was born and raised in St. Louis and now reside near Springfield, MO. I'm a stay-at-home dad to my son Ayden who was born with Down Syndrome. He'll be 10 this year and will be attending the 4th grade. He is my life.
I moved from St. Louis in 2005 to get away from the life I had been living. Without going into too many details, drugs were an issue. I didn't like the person I'd become and thought it was time for a change. So I packed a bag and drove 3 hours away from everything I've ever known and loved to start a new life. After a few months here I met a girl that became my wife and in 2007 we got married and had Ayden. Life has been good since then. I am on several boards of non-profit organizations that help people with disabilities.
When I moved in 2005 I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do. But just last year it finally hit me. I want to help people that can't help themselves. @sykochica helped me when I needed it in high school and I've never forgot it. Now I want to repay the good deed by helping others.
Well Steemit world, that's me in a nutshell. A 39 year old stay-at-home dad that wants to help people that need it.
My posts will be personal. Things I wouldn't tell others, I'll share here.
Peace!
