Taking My Talents to South Beach…A New Role with EMC

June 19, 2014 in Non-Tech, Social Media, Uncategorized

Okay so this announcement may not be as dramatic as LeBrons and maybe it’s a little bit more north than South Beach. I have found that in life the some of the best opportunities present themselves when you’re not looking for them. Over the past 10 years at Dell I have moved around to a few different teams and even some of those opportunities were just dropped in my lap. I started of working on the tech support side and quickly moved up and was approached by the community team to help […]

AT&T Family Plan: The Breakdown

March 3, 2014 in Non-Tech

So I am sure you are like me and you see these “best family plan ever” commercials from AT&T right? Well, my son is turning 16 next week so we were going to go in and upgrade his basic plan and get him a new iPhone 5C and then also switch my other 3 lines over to the new family plan for $160/month. Now AT&T advertises this as 4 lines, 10Gb data, and unlimited talk/text. This is all true and a great price, so I am sure you’re asking what’s […]

My Faith Restored in Ford and Ford Service

July 3, 2013 in Auto, Non-Tech

If you aren’t aware of what has been going on with me and Ford service, you may want to catch up here. Fast forward to yesterday when I received a call from the general manager of Mac Haik, Mike Winoc. He first wanted to address the issue of him not replying to my initial email, to which was not his fault as it was filtered by his admin and she directed to the service manager so they could assist. Now as I was talking to Mike the thing that I […]

My Issue with Ford Service

June 28, 2013 in Auto, Non-Tech

I purchased a 2010 Platinum F150 4×4 from Mac Haik Ford Georgetown in April of 2010.  Now, when my extended warranty started to come to an end I decided I wanted to purchase and extended warranty and keep my truck under warranty for as long as possible.  This is when I talked to one of the finance managers.  He was very helpful and help me with purchasing an extended premium warranty for an additional 3 years and 75k miles….or so I thought. Apparently what I purchased was a 3 year […]

Ultimate Harlem Shake

March 1, 2013 in Non-Tech

Yes, I know I used those words again.  But I promise this one is actually funny ( assuming you have a sense of humor). Go to YouTube using Chrome or Firefox. Type “do the Harlem Shake” minus quotes in the search box and hit enter. Watch the page. It’s not a video, promise.   Just in-case you want to watch a funny harlem shake video, here are a couple of my favorites 🙂

How Do You Measure The ROI of Social Media?

February 6, 2013 in Non-Tech, Social Media

“You can’t put a price on friendship”, that’s what I remember being said to me when I was growing up.  Look we all know the end goal of any business is to make money, it’s all about the bottom line.  But can your social strategy be just to drive revenue? Personally I don’t think so.  In some most cases you should treat your social strategy like your personal strategy. Let’s take a look at the personal side of social media.  I’ll use twitter as an example, when I first started […]

Wow! You’re a Social Influencer!!!

January 29, 2013 in Non-Tech, Social Media

Dumb, incomplete, fake, easy to manipulate, accurate, fair…These are all things that people say about social media influencer scores. Hey, I myself use some of these tools to report back to management in my current job on how I stack up in the conversation. The truth is while none of the services can accurately measure level of engagement, true influence you have on someone, or your knowledge of a specific topic companies do need something to base the social strategy on. Therefore, these “scores” won’t go away until something better […]
