about me
I am a passionate digital marketer. Have been focused on digital for over 14 years and I love it as much today as I did the day I started. My current gig is leading the digital marketing team at Red Bull. I'm honored to work for such a powerful and compelling brand, and I'm energized to be part of a team that has innovation and loving life at the core of our culture.
Living digitally consumes most of my time. To give you an idea... here's the gear list:
A Dell XPS M1530 laptop that I use as a home server connected to cable internet and serving up wireless connectivity via a Apple Airport Extreme 802.11N, an Apple Airport Express range extender, and a Sonos ZoneBridge. The kitchen rocks with a Sonos S5. The XPS M1530 is connected to a SimpleTech Pro 500GB drive, a MyBook Essential 2TB drive, and a MyBook Essential 3TB drive where our data is backed up and where our digital media is stored.
We have three more laptops in the house (Dell Studio XPS 16, Apple MacBook Pro 13, and an Apple MacBook Pro 17). For entertainment, I have way too many iPods, an iPad2, one Series 2 TiVo and three Series 3 TiVo HDs. The TiVos are networked together via TiVo Desktop. In January 2011, I added a Slingbox PRO-HD to my office TV, connected via ethernet to the Apple Airport Extreme and accessed easily from the road with a TRENDnet 300Mbps Wireless-N travel router.
We have the most complete gaming setup ever. An XBOX 360 250G with Kinect (XBOX Live ID: nahood), a Nintendo Wii and Wii Fit balance board and a Sony PlayStation 3 320G with Playstation Move. All three systems are hooked up to a 56" Sharp LCD flatscreen TV. On the XBOX, I have the ultimate accessories with an Astro A40 audio system and a custom Envy no-slow wired controller.
Our home phone is routed through an Ooma hub, a super VOiP device that you pay for once and then all domestic calling through your landline phones is free (no monthly charges). I use two iPhone 4s (home & work) for voice & data services.
When I'm not sitting in front of a screen at work or at home, I do have other interests. Golf is my favorite outdoor activity although I don't play nearly enough to be great at it. I'm a 22.5 handicap. I like running too. Nike+ is a fun tool for me that combines my passion for the digital life with running. I track most runs with Nike+. The Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Eagles, and Los Angeles Lakers are my favorite sports teams. My baseball collection is a passion and I also sell autographed Red Sox memorabilia at my ebay store www.kdbaseball.com.
I'm a dual-citizen of the United States and Ireland. I currently live in Calabasas, CA 10 minutes North of Malibu beaches and I'm loving every minute of it!
