I’ve gained quite a few new followers over the last couple of weeks, so I want to take the opportunity to reintroduce myself.
I’m Aaron (as you were probably already aware), an accountant for an electric cooperative & it’s fiber-subsidiary. (I worked in customer service before that, and was a failed life-style blogger briefly, and as a night-shift machinist before that, and as a farm hand before that, and as a pastor before that).
Needless to say it’s been an interesting journey, but one I try to fill with positivity and optimism.
I’m passionate about finance (it’s what my MBA is concentrated in), not to mention staring at spreadsheets all day legitimately makes me happy. I also LOVE reading literature. Occasionally I get a creativity sugar-rush & try my hand at writing. Maybe someday I’ll publish something.
My family and I live on the farm that my wife’s great-grandparents homesteaded (it was a functioning dairy farm for over 75 years). We have goats and my in-laws farm corn, soybeans & wheat along with running grass-fed beef and free-range chickens. We have horses, two dogs & two toddlers.
Life can be an overwhelming mess sometimes, but it’s been a wild journey to where we are today (and let’s be honest, I bring it on myself most of the time).
I’ve been channeling my passion for spreadsheets & personal finance into a small venture I call Finance Toolbox 🧰 & I’ve been thrilled with the success I’m already seeing with that.
Oh and did I mention I’m starting classes in a couple of weeks to start the journey of preparing for the CPA exams?
😂
There’s a good chance I might be crazy, but I wouldn’t approach life any other way.
That’s really all there is to know. If you’ve read this far, thanks & feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to be of assistance to my network!
