in AskMe5 years ago

Thank you @steemitqa, @hiveqa, and @rishi556 for requesting this

Here's a quick list for anyone not familiar with me:

First job out of high school was as a network engineer

Have owned 5 different businesses (of the "small" variety). My favorite was a float center (sensory deprivation tanks)

Worked in fast food and as support for developmentally delayed adults to broaden my experiences in life

Last time I worked in a corporate environment was as a database engineer - setting up warehousing and helping report developers

I've had a few serious relationships, but never monogamous (monogamy is just not for me)

An amazing little family keeps me going - amazing wife and amazing son

Fun fact - I once went nearly a decade without driving a car despite a 25-mile commute and no public transit. All weather motorcycling in rural Idaho, USA

Any questions?

Sort:  

Have owned 5 different businesses

Wow, that is awesome! I love this AMA it does bring more to color to you. The family sounds amazing!

My question is: Out of the five businesses you had which one did you not like the most?

Cell phone service and repair, hands down. People get stressed out, the margins are tiny, and everyone thinks you're trying to screw them 😄

everyone thinks you're trying to screw them

Up the ass?

In all the ways!
Imagine a $45 cell phone is your only way of communicating with the world and you have to trust someone to fix it. Add in the very shady shops that were around at the time and you end up having high expectations and low confidence to deal with

everyone thinks you're trying to screw them

Haha I believe this 100% .

So, you aren’t monogamous right now?

That is correct :)

If you could have anyone do an AMA, would would it be?

The older I've gotten, the more entertainment matters to me. I think @themarkymark would have a lot to offer for both information and amusement

@hiveqa / @steemitqa would also be a fascinating read

Would definitely participate in yours, but I already ama you all the time 😆

You get a private AMA whenever you want.

The @themarkymark would be an epic AMA. The history on that guy is intense 😄

I might have to take you up on an AMA 😗

@themarkymark, I guess you have to do it now.

Are you secretly a furry?

No. It is not a secret

Kidding!

Furrydom mostly weirds me out, though I did get a little exposure to it when one of the developmentally delayed clients I worked with was very, very into it

That's what a furry would say.

I giggled

developmentally delayed adults

Wtf is that

monogamy is just not for me

Same sentiments here. Only that i think we choose to be monogamous to have peace of mind. Only celebrities can AFFORD that "different wives and many kids" kinda thing.

And now my question,

Have you ever cheated on your wife?

You are breaking my balls

developmentally delayed adults

It was the term we used at the time for adults that had an IQ below 80 when they were children. Their development was delayed

Have you ever cheated on your wife?

No. I am firmly against cheating. I think it's gross. In our relationship, we are free to do as we like (we're fixed, so no kids will be sprouting or anything) - that is built on a level of trust that comes from being open and honest with each other. Hiding things or being dishonest are what constitutes "cheating" for me

You are breaking my balls

My bad

term we used at the time for adults that had an IQ below 80 when they were children. Their development was delayed

Would have sworn this wasn't a thing

No. I am firmly against cheating

Fair enough

Looks like you found the AMA. Welcome!

My questions is which one do you like most Steem or Hive ?

Hive
all.the.way

I came to DPoS after reading and watching a lot from Dan Larimer. Engaging in the experiment he described is what drove me to be here

Plenty of centralized social media platforms are available. I don't hate any of them. Just not interesteed

Thanks for the welcome!

Hive
all.the.way

Safe answer! ;-)

Yes, Dan Larimer was the pioneer for sure in DPoS and watching him navigate it was fairly interesting no doubt. I'm just excited to see the technology grow. Awesome AMA! I see there is a AMA request too so hopefully, it will start filling up!

What’s ur favorite color?

Grey. All the grey

What business would you like to add to the series of businesses you have already had? Maybe you have one that you never knew how to launch?

For the time being, I've largely shut down that part of my spirit that desires so much to build. If we're going to fantasize though, I would love something adventurous. Let's say an outfitter/tour guide organization for white water rafting in Idaho

Why did you choose the name foxon?

fox was taken

You must be an air sign. They hate monogamy. What sign are you???

Aries.... No idea what kind of sign that is tho :D

Fire. Very productive people. Can have many successful projects at once. Great leadership abilities. Stubborn,set in their ways but let's keep the good attributes coming. They are very goal driven people.

Thank you for the insight!

You like the foxon or foxoff?

What is your favorite cheesecake toping?

Highly refined strawberry jelly. You should be able to see through it and it should be nearly liquid
