First Post & Introduction

Hello Steemians, I'm Richard!

I'm an artist, entrepreneur, traveler, and lover of animals. I have way too many interests and hobbies for one lifetime, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Some of those interests include fitness, music, longboarding, drones, photography, videography, games... I could go on.

I first learned about Steem through Connor Kenny (@investing). I'm fairly new to the crypto space, having started just this past June. I'm excited to be a part of the new paradigm in social media & content that Steemit has created!

This year I had the pleasure of traveling to South Korea and Japan, two of my favourite places. It was my first time in Okinawa and I have to say that place is beautiful:

I like to write music in my spare time. Unfortunately I tend to write more music than I can record, but I'll share my work over time. Here's one of the first songs I ever wrote and recorded (my friend made the video):

In addition to writing and playing music, I run a small independent record label called Northern Light Records. Here's one of the recent releases from Calgary-based band Ultrviolence:

I also make a lot of artwork and album covers for the label:

One of my other side-projects is creating workout plans for kettlebell users (@deathbykettlebell on Instagram). Kettlebells are a great way to keep in shape because with just a few kettlebells you can get a full-body workout and burn tons of calories while building practical strength:

I'l leave it at that for now. I look forward to sharing more with everyone soon!
