In the middle of my High School years I was performing poorly in school so I was placed in an accelerated school that would help me graduate on time. I ended up graduating at the age of 17 (a year early).

After that I joined the U.S. Navy (at 17 years old) and had a lot of interesting experiences. But I got medically discharged for a mental illness after 3 1/2 years and was given free medicine and a small pension.

After settling in and recovering from my illness (w/the help of medicine) I realized that I could live a better life with my pension in a country that had a lower cost of living.

So I moved to the Philippines in 2009, met my wife and got married in 2010. I have been here since and enjoy the city I live in. It's nice here and @emaferice has a good family 😊

Now in 2018 I am looking for ways to generate income. I would need to find something that doesn't take too much time everyday since I require a lot of sleep. I am hoping that Steemit can play a role in securing my finances.

I have some experience with blogging and vlogging since I have made videos for YouTube with my wife and enjoy writing too. That's my story in a nutshell 😊😀😁
