Hello from complete newcomer to the world of REI

[Jeff Zhang]

Hey everyone,

My name is Jeff and I'm a recent college graduate working to build the lifestyle that I used to dream about.  In college, I was on the typical track most people my age find themselves: find a promising major, start a career, work until I have enough saved for retirement, and live life during the inbetweens.  

Shortly before I graduated, I realized I want more out of my life.  I want to chase the childhood dreams I used to have and not resign myself to working a job I hate.  I started a small business that is becoming moderately successful and I desperately want to grow that money and create a lifestyle that once seemed so impossible.

That's how I ended up here.  I'm here to learn as much as I can and really start to build for the rest of my life.

Looking forward to learning from you all!
