With quite a bit of arm twisting from @ericvancewalton, my best friend at work and a friend to many on Steemit, I've finally decided to join and post my introduction. I created a new account back in Nov 2016 to lurk around but the arm couldn't take it anymore. ;)
Allow me to introduce myself and let you all know who I am, what I do, and what I stand for.
Me: My name is Fong and I live in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, USA. I'm married to my wife who's big into facebook and beauty products. We have a son who will be turning 6 years old this Saturday which will be Pokemon-themed with real pokeballs and pokemon!
Me again: I currently work at a financial services corporation where I spend my time resolving loan calculation discrepancies and emailing clients. Most of the latter is spent on writing follow up emails to clients who should be happy to work with me but don't.
Why: My continued goal in life is to provide joy to those around me, share my life experiences and tricks of the trade to others whom are willing to listen, help others in need, and to ultimately become a value to society. I am here because I have come to understand that steemit is the key to happiness and the internet is the lock as to which needs the key of happiness to unlock. Where I'm going with this I don't know...
You: I hope to learn from each and everyone of you through your posts and your lives. I believe everyone is on their own journey and has their own story to tell and that's why I'm interested in the community here. I look forward to expanding my horizon with you all and I hope you do the same with me.
More than welcome to our community dear friend. I hope you can nurture and nourish us of the great content that is here. Any questions, we are at your disposal. Big hug!
You are too kind. :D Thank you. I will follow you so i can do the same for you. See ya!
welcome to the STEEMIN @vangfo. upvote and follow.
Thank you! Are you a bicyclist?
Welcome to Steemit. Stephen
Thanks, Stephen. I appreciate it.
Welcome! I'm new as well but so far i have fpund this community to be pretty awesome, I'm sure you'll have a great time. In my personal experience i can say that for that Pokemon themed party red and white frosting turn any round food into a Pokeball, and walmart will have way more pokemon party supplies than you think. Enjoy!
Interesting name! I like it. Hopefully your actual feet are fine. Oh and thank you. Lets explore steemit together.
Yes the feet are fine haha. The name actually comes from a goblin character i played in a dungeons and dragons campaign.
welcome
Thanks, doitv. :)
Welcome, @vangfo. It's nice to see you here. Pokemon, eh? Sounds like a wild party. I remember all too well when my kids were Pokemon obsessed.
Kids need an imagination to build upon. Pokemon is good fit for that. :)
Welcome to Steemit! I am a newbe myself here and have never gotten into this social media stuff. Joined it to write things I thought would be important, more than the earnings aspect - but if that works out, so much for the better! I too did some customer service work for a tech firm, and was also a mortgage loan officer at one time. I can empathize with your experience with cranky customers! Don't let the turkeys get you down!
Thanks! I hope to come across some of your stories and materials soon. I'm sure there will be plenty we can relate especially with regards to lending and life.
