So right now I’m writing on Day 2 of my new job at the awesome New Media Strategies in Arlington, VA. From the name of the company, I’m thinking you web savvy consumers can guess what we do here – that’s right folks, we work with new/social media!
Ever since I caught the social media bug about 2 years ago, I have been voraciously reading blogs (and creating a blog!), writing down ideas, notes, and fully absorbing any and all strategy about this space that I could get my hands on. Needless to say, I am very passionate about this area of web technology and online communications. For those who know me pretty well, they know that I am an information geek. When I get an interest in something, I will make it my duty to learn as much as possible on it and (sometimes to the dismay of others) try to share it with as many people as possible! One of the things I tell my younger family members in junior high or high school, is that “once you know, no one can tell you I told you so” – so with that in mind, I try to learn as much as possible in life.
Ok, enough with the lecture.
I am super stoked to be here working with my buds Leslie Bradshaw and Brian Devine, who not only know their stuff when it comes to the Web, but they are also really cool in real life. But…don’t tell them I told you that, I don’t want them to get big heads…
Folks, this qualifies me as a poster boy for getting your dream job. If you work hard and keep pursuing the goals that you have for yourself, things fall into place.
Thanks to all my Twitter buddies for all the congrats. And now if you will excuse me, I must break out into my secret victory dance one more time…

Good to hear your doing good things brother!
Congrats on the new job!!
I have to echo both Rohit and Rebecca, as well as welcome you to the NMS team!
As you know, you came on my radar in a big way starting a year ago from all the positive energy and support you sent to Jesse/JESS3 and me via Facebook (mobile upload and picture comments), delicious (love your link shares!), comments on our blogs, and via my new fave community builder, Twitter.
You did all of these things in all the right ways — from the heart, with sincerity and total enthusiasm. Love it, learned from it, inspired by it and so glad you are apart of the NMS team. Think we are up to a good 20+ bloggers and 30+ Twitterers… gonna be some kinda awesomeness in the months to come! Again, welcome aboard! w00t! w00t! (like t00t t00t!)
@Rebecca – thanks! don’t worry, I’m sure I will be talking more about it as we go along! This is what we aim to do as Gen Yers right?
@Rohit – wow, first of all thanks for dropping by! What you said really means alot to me Rohit, looking forward to connecting soon.
Your excitement oozes through on this post – how great! Congratulations! I’m looking forward to hearing more about your new job as you move forward.
Great stuff, good work finding a home to do what you’re passionate about. Not everyone is bold enough to do things the way you did them, so you should be proud of yourself for making it work. Building a successful career is all about taking smart risks. Congrats!
