General Information:

My name is Jaron; I go by J. R. online since my username is my initials plus my last name and that is what people just started to refer to me as over time. I’m a born again follower of Jesus Christ with a beautiful wife and a crazy cat. I was born and grew up in Pennsylvania, where I gained an interest in computer technology and the Internet.

My teen years consisted of Boy Scouts, where I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. As well as concert band, choir, and a few parts in school musicals. Later, I attended college graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science. That whole time never dropping my hobby of building websites for various reasons.

I’ve had everything from a GeoCities site to a Xanga blog, and MySpace. If it was on the Internet I was a part of it or so it seemed. I currently own several websites, manage several more, and do some programming on a few personal projects. To relax I started live streaming video games on Twitch, watch tech videos online, or mess around with a little Python code.

I am currently a STEEM witness and a witness on the SMOKE blockchain. I am thinking about increasing the decentralization of this platform as well by witnessing for everyone. All in due time of course, I feel it is more important to build up a reputation with you all before deciding to pull out my SysAdmin skills in front of everyone. :sweat_smile:

Hopefully I'll be able to find a project to work on to help improve this platform. As I said in the about me of the account creation form I am looking to be a apart of a community that is tight knit and looking out for the best of all the members. Whaleshares may be that community and if so I'm more than eager to contribute my time and energy here.

I created a system to help keep IPFS content online forever but it has received little to no attention with in STEEM. I love the steem platform, it's been good to me but I feel like I am up against a wall there in making any progress getting the community to see value in what I am doing. If all works out I can easily clone my projects to work on Whaleshares for everyone here to benefit from.


Music

Recently, I have been really into what is called "Synthwave". It's a retro 80s techno-style of music and it's great background noise to work too. On top of that I love classic hymns remade into folk music and what is called "Christian Hip-Hop".

Movies

Star Wars.

Video Games

I mostly play tycoon and simulation games. I also like to play games with great art and a good storyline like "Transistor".

Books

The Bible is really the only book I have time to read these days. If I have extra free time to read its normally a book that may improve my life or teach me something new. I have not read a fiction book in years.

Work

Is boring.
