Hello Steemit!

My name is Steve aka Breve (pronounced like Steve, but starting with Br) Bronovan, I'm a 30 year old human currently residing in Austin, TX. I grew up in freezing cold New Hampshire, and am now happy to be constantly bombarded with sunlight in the Texas hill country.

I'm very excited to finally be a part of what looks to be an amazing community. I recently became very interested in cryptos, which is what initially brought steemit to my attention. However, after lurking for a few days I'm most excited about joining an online community that is more positive than most of the others out there. I've spent too much time on Reddit, Facebook, etc, and I'm sure I don't need to tell you how much people like to complain and start flame wars.

That's all I'll say about negativity, to make up for it here's a picture of one of my cats!

This is Zissou (named after The Life Aquatic), he's a people loving tuxedo cat we adopted when we lived in Chicago. Anytime my wife or I are sitting at a computer he wants to stop us from typing, including when I was trying to write this post.

I love boardgames, hiking, modern art, comedy, bicycles, animals (especially cats), snowboarding, comic books, traveling, video games, photography, graphic design, environmental sustainability, movies, fantasy football, outer space, craft beer, bright colors, and just plain weird things. If you decide to follow me that's an idea of some things you might see.

So many words, here's another cat photo!

This is Squiggle, she's quite the cat breed mash up. Squiggle is much shier than Zissou, but loves people once she gets to know them. We adopted her here in Austin when she was a tiny kitten, and don't tell Zissou, but she is my favorite.

Enough of the cats, here's a picture of my wife and I on our recent trip to California.

Yes, my beard is a different color than my hair. No, I don't dye it. I guess I'm a bit of a mash up as well, maybe that's why I like Squiggle so much.

Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to being a part of the steemit world!
