Because you never know who you will meet…

Howdy!

![Me](https://s32.postimg.org/pvh5gfp79/Michael_s_Profile_Image_2016.jpg)

I am Michael Paine and recently finished my Masters in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance  at Colorado Technical University. I have a full time job, but spend my free time writing about ideas, social issues, and businesses ideas.

Last year I self-published my first book titled Conspire To Inspire available at amazon.com. It is a short work that encourages people to find inspiration through a series of profiles of people that have had a positive impact on my life, such as James Altucher. 

In general, I love reading and learning new things and look forward to contributing to the steemit community. I want to thank @stellabelle for introducing me to it!

Nice to meet y'all,
Michael

Hey Michael, get a imasafe.org account to upload photos and you can put photos into posts that way.  It took me a few times to get it right.  Adding pics to your post will help with engagement.

some proof you are not just another  sock-puppet? Maybe a picture or video of you holding a paper that writes STEEMIT and the current date?
