Hey, thanks for stopping by to read my profile. I guess you could describe me best as a passionate, energetic, focused and technically savvy individual. I love computers, gadgets (ipod, nano, harmony 880, palm treo, etc.) and technology in general. I can translate technology into layman’s terms and understand a lot of technologies , products, management methodologies and more.

In 2006 I made a career change from IT manager to sourcer (recruiter). Now instead of answering phone calls from highly agitated customers and managers, I get to make like changing offers to my former peers. Since I understand much of the work IT professionals do I am very in touch with the industry and how to find them.

I am here hoping to connect with everyone. I would like to find people with similar music, cultural, computer and career interests. If you would like to connect with me, my contact information can be found on plaxo, linkedin, zoominfo, jigsaw, or off my resume on emurse.com.

Here is a list of sites that you might find me on as of 9/15/2007:

You could call me a movie maniac. I love the television, it is my false god so to speak. I own over 300 movies and I now have a subion to netflix that I abuse regularly. If movies are my vice, my addiction and is computer games. Specifically World of Warcraft. Every free waking moment I am not burdened with responsibilities or enjoying my family I lock myself away into the virtual world and get my fix.

I have a very wide selection of musical preferences. I love various artists for their songs, albums, videos, etc…. I’ve been trying to create a list of songs and artists that I like on Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) but I can’t really control what it plays next. Here’s a few of the songs I’ve listed too recently.

If you know me, then you know I love action movies. I have a small collection of premium action films. Last count my collections was over 300. If you love movies as much as I do, then you really need to check out DVD Profiler (http://www.intervocative.com) it’s a great tool for tracking your collections without having to enter much data. You only have to enter the UPC# and it pulls down the cover, the title, all actors etc. It is very cool. Some of the movies in my collection are:

HEAT, Die Hard, Predator, Heat, Aliens, Lord of the Rings, Terminator, Terminator 2.

Television is the 8th wonder of the world. It’s ability to capture so many people’s attention as life just passes by truly astonishes me. With that said, please don’t stand in front of my 50” rear projection Tv while any of the following are on:

ER, The Shield, Law and Order, CSI

Lately I haven’t read anything new. And mostly I download books from audibles.com and listen to them on my iPod while I commute to work. Some of my favorites are:
The Dinvinci Code, Aragon, Eldest, the faithful spy
