I was invited to join hive by my friend and client @meno. He insisted that I should check out this platform, and I caved in, so here I am.
I was born in New York, grew up in Ecuador, and then moved back to the states when I graduated high school. You can call me a New Yorker after all said and done. I also graduated from collegue there.
A lifetime ago in 2013, I moved back to Ecuador to be close to my mother, after my father had passed. After moving here, I spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what kind of business I could start here, and a good friend got me into car repairs.
In 2014 I had a running mechanic shop in a little town in the Coast of Ecuador called Manglaralto (Santa Elena). In the beginning it was meant to be basic:
Oil change, tire changes, batteries, that kind of thing. Over time, more and more people would show up requesting repairs, and it evolved into a full shop.
Today we do everything from changing the mirrors of your car, that just got stolen (this happened to @meno) all the way to rebuilding a whole engine. I'm lucky to have found myself a good crew that I can work with, and more importantly to live in a place where I'm trusted and appreciated.
It seems very interesting to me, the idea that I can make cryptocurrency writing on a blog, sharing information about my business, so I guess I'm here to see if its true.
I know a little about cryptocurrencies. My brother who still lives in the States and I have dabbled a bit in it, but I know that there is a ton more to learn. So if anything this whole experience will be one of learning and patience.
Looking forward to whatever the future brings.
Respectfully
Charlie
