Hello Steemit!

My name is Justin and I live in Southeastern, PA. I was encouraged to join Steemit by my ex-wife @elsbeth-upton. I’ve never liked talking about myself and consider it a difficult thing to do. The best way to describe me is quirky, which I’ve been described as on more than one occasion.

My day job is working in the insurance industry as a commercial underwriter and have been in the insurance industry for a very long time.

What I really do is take care of birds in our poultry sanctuary. It takes a lot of work to make sure that every birdie has fresh water, food, and a clean place to sleep, but I enjoy taking care of them. Life wouldn’t be the same without them.

In my free time, what little of it there is, I enjoy writing poetry and tinkering around with computers and other techy stuff like that. I also enjoy carving, wood working, and other crafty type things. and hope to get back to those as well soon.

I’ve been writing poetry for over 20 years, but do not consider myself a poet. Some of it may be good and some of it may not be, but I still enjoy it. I enjoy writing in general though I haven’t written stories yet, but have several ideas for some kicking around in my head and hope to get them written down at some point.
