I would seriously love to learn more about how you run your witness. THANK YOU for all you are doing so far its people like you that make this all possible.

This is the best 'how to' guide out there as far as setting up and running a witness node. There are a few (minor things) that have changed since the post was written, but it is 95% of the basics.

I've also created some of my own scripts/tools using code provided by other witnesses as a starting point that handle failure detection and price feed updates. I run multiple servers, and if the main one starts having an issue I have it send a text to my cell phone and automatically switch over to my backup node.
That's all the technical side. The rest of it is figuring out ways to add value to the community. I've just been working on various projects since I started here, and one thing has always led to another. My role as a witness and involvement in the community have adapted over time.
