Newbie: Tom from West Michigan

[Tom Cox]

Hey everyone, newbie investor from West Michigan here. My name is Tom and I have been working to start investing since July 2013. I have been thinking about this since 1998 and have just decided to take the plunge. I am looking to network with some great people and learn as much as I can and get this thing rolling. I sincerely appreciate any help you folks can offer.
