Hello sir, my name is Brad, I'm from Wisconsin and have been strongly considering a permanent journey southward before beginning my own homestead project, mostly due to more favorable growing conditions and milder winters. I just created an account to see if you have identified any people who would be a good fit already. I am a 30 year old single man with a 5 yr old female German Shepherd. I am a firearms enthusiast and CC permit holder, who also happens to be a dog trainer and more recently a service dog trainer for disabled persons. I'm midway thru establishing a 501 3c not for profit org that rescues dogs from shelters and trains them as service/therapy dogs for disabled children and veterans. I consider myself a prepped and survivalist, but humbly understand there is much yet for me to learn. I have a large interest in aquaponics with some basic experience under my belt in that regard. I am a bookworm who craves knowledge and learning new things. Most of my life I have worked in the computer/IT industry. I am a conservative Christian man who places a great deal of emphasis on courtesy and respect.
I figure it would be worth me reaching out to you in case you've not found what you are looking for yet.
I wish you and yours the best regards,
Brad and Gemma (gsd)
