Every week, #thealliance will be featuring one of it's members and highlighting their Steemit blogs and personalities. It would only make sense to have the first member featured be that of our beloved @michaeldavid! He was also the first Steemian ever approached about the notion of #thealliance. Michael was already falling in love with Steemit and once @enginewitty explained the vision of what he was bound and determined to do, @michaeldavid went all in and has since then become X40L1N's 'Right Hand Man'.

Michael is an absolutely brilliant individual and tireless single father. His mathematical skills are top notch and have been inherited by his lego-maniacal son. No one can match the skills of "Spinny Do-Dad Man" and "The Death Master of All Death Man"! (lego creations) Having extensively studied SEO and marketing, I wouldn't be surprised if you've used some of the techniques and methods his amazing mind 'invented'. Proof of the pudding resides in his rapid rise in the rankings for his chosen tags and niche here on Steemit.

Michael runs a series on here called Daily Inspiration, and they truly are inspiring. Having found his niche, at the time of this posting, his most recent post, #60 - Samuel Johnson - Habit, ranks in the top seven or higher in every single trending category of his tags. Inspiration - #6. Motivation - #7. Quote - #1 (also ranks 2, 5, 6, 10, and 11 with his previous posts in quote). Dailyquotes - #1 (also ranks 2, 5, and 6 in dailyquotes with previous posts). Success - #3 (and #4 with the post prior to #60). There is more than just SEO to his success though. All of these posts are quality material with thought provoking content. He doesn't limit himself with just featuring inspirational speakers like Tony Robbins (whom of which I believe he has never even used as an example), but broadens the mind with words from all walks of life. @enginewitty took notice of Michael on the second issue he ever posted which featured some of Bruce Lee's wisdom. "The successful warrior is the average man with laser-like focus." And indeed, @michaeldavid has that focus and isn't missing a beat here on Steemit.

All of his posts have just been amazing and are continually getting better. I'm sure they've given countless people great ideas and even redirected some of their negative outlooks. He really is an engaging swimmer here these Steemy Seas too! He rarely lets a thoughtful comment go unnoticed and takes time to familiarize himself with his community. We're proud to have him as a follower, leader, and dedicated member of #thealliance. Steem On Michael!
