My Introduction Post as a New Pioneer in this Exciting Paradigm Shift in Social Media!

I would like to introduce myself, as a new pioneer of the STEEMIT movement! My name is John F. Wolf and I reside in lovely Stockton, CA, located in the central valley between San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, CA. I was born and raised in South Lake Tahoe, CA, one of the most beautiful places on Earth!

Below is a photo taken by my Photographer son, Ryan at the top of Mt. Tallac, located on the S/W side of Lake Tahoe above Fallen Leaf Lake and Emerald Bay.

I am married, wife Erin, and have a son and daughter, Ryan and Rebecca. Both Ryan and Rebecca attend college and my wife is a grade school music teacher. I am retired from a 10 year career as a Police Officer, but currently employed as a full-time Funeral Attendant for three area funeral homes here in Stockton. I needed to return to work to help my kids out with college costs.

At the young age of 53, I consider myself a man of many talents and experiences and willing to take on a challenge as a leader in pioneering a new venture. Since turning 50, I have completed three “Tough Mudders” all at a high elevation course in Lake Tahoe, CA. “Tough Mudder” is a 12 mile endurance course, originally designed by the British Special Forces. Just to complete the course is an accomplishment! Below is a photo of the Mudder I did with my daughter Rebecca back in 2014 at NorthStar in Truckee, CA. She kicked "Ass", as evident from her smug pose after we finished.

I am also an artist, working with graphite and color pencil photo renderings. Below is a Graphite Pencil Photo rendering of my son, Ryan, pitching for Lincoln High School of Stockton, CA.

In joining the STEEMIT community, I see everyone here as the new pioneers in what I believe will become the new paradigm, in the new financial currency system and how people will forge very powerful virtual communities that support each other and eventually separate us all from the grasp of the political bureaucrats’.

I have been very impressed with the Intelligence and Vision of people in this forum. It comforts me to know that there are many in the younger generation here that are so awe inspiring and it gives me hope that our society will prevail in the end with such positive, motivated and talented individuals.

In being a part of this community, I hope in the coming days and months to share some of my talents and experiences of life, and impart any of my knowledge and wisdom to anyone who would like my input? To put this bit of wisdom into perspective…”Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”.

I believe this forum is a platform for a new paradigm shift that will allow for a healthy dialogue and conversation and a way to heal our divided country. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this new creative forum.
