I was so proud of us and the work that the company has done to truly make it a "Best Places to Work" (which we won from the Business Journal this year, as well) in San Diego. I didn't go to the awards show, but I did anticipate the call while Amy, Danielle, Michelle, Lindsay and Jeanni...  read more
Won Most Admired CEO by the San Diego Business Journal − 18 October, 2007

This was a very surprising honor.  Clearly I am pretty happy about it, but it definitely felt a little weird.  You walk into an event like this and you're one of many networkers; you walk out of the event with hardware and you're bait.There are a few things that I credit for winning the...  read more

George turned two on Wednesday and we had a small family party.  Amy and I had our quarterly executive planning meeting that day for Red Door during the day, but when we got home from that, we packed up the presents and picnic and went to UCSD.  We went to the track there because George...  read more
Visited a new client in Dallas − 30 May, 2007 - 31 May, 2007

I'd never been there before.  I'd been to the DFW airport, but never left.  I'd been to Houston and kinda set that as the framework for what to expect in Dallas.  Yep, it was pretty much the same.  Hot, humid, but chock full of friendly people and fireworks stands (that, aft...  read more
Went to NYC for business and fun; not necessarily in that order − 27 April, 2007 - 3 May, 2007

Went to New York City a little early for a few business meetings the following week.  We stayed in the city at the Le Parker Meridien and checked in alongside Ted Danson (...seriously) at about 2AM Eastern due to a flight delay.  They ended up putting us in a room that was not what...  read more

Saw Vint Cerf speak at the San Diego Venture Group event this morning.  We had about 500 people there; very well attended.  We could have had more, but we maxed the place out. He was a great speaker.  Funny, self-deprecating and full of historical knowledge.  He spoke about G...  read more

For Parker Pike's class for non-profit marketers.  I spent about an hour and a half up front in Room 215 in Serra Hall discussing concepts and answering questions related to Internet Presence Management.  I thought it was pretty cool that, within that span, I hopefully helped 22 non-p...  read more

It was a morning event and I was co-presenter charged with reviewing a few of the attendees' sites, as well as one of Red Door's. I chose to do a case study of our client, Turning Technologies. It was an interesting time and I hope that the attendees got something out of it..That is a circumstanc...  read more

The headline was "Building Net Presence" and was a great representation of what we do here at Red Door Interactive.  I was pretty proud of us in that moment, as was the rest of the crew over here.  They published a fabulous headshot of our Director of Technology Services, De...  read more

Pretty happy about that.  The ceremony was conducted at the San Diego Convention Center and we brought a small group of people from Red Door to celebrate including Amy, Erika, Kelly and Jeannie. An interesting event and honor.
