My current interests cover a lot of territory and most of it is on the web. For the last year I have been immersed in social media marketing, the next strategic marketing model. Blogging, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn- these are all places where people are talking about brands, product experiences and reputations. Understanding, listening and actively participating in these conversations are what marketers will be doing in the near future as their primary activity.
I also read a lot, probably too much, but it is habit I started at age 3 so I don’t think that’s going to change.
I love to cook for other people and I’m a fairly serious cook, always willing to take on something complex. Love restaurants too. We’re going to eventually build some restaurant review sites on some domains we own.
Other interests include economic development in the Greater Rochester NY region, entrepreneurship, venture capital and politics. My environmental blog, BurnerTrouble, is another major interest.
And, if that’s not enough, I’m writing an odd little novel called Walking To Heaven. And I like a jeweler named Boo…hi Boo!
