Sr. Technical Marketing Manager for Backup and Recovery Solutions @ EMC. Photographer, Golfer, Soccer Fan, & all around geek!

When I am not spending my time talking to folks about the really cool things I do for my job, I can be found spending countless hours behind a camera lens (many different ones actually), attending some sort of "geekfest" (hey we have to stick together!), playing a video game, at Gillette Stadium watching the New England Revolution, playing golf, watching soccer or golf on TV, reading a good book, listening to good musicians (not entertainers, beiber fans need not apply), and keeping up with friends via social networks. Now that this long list is out of the way, I can complicate things even further and tell you that I may be found doing any combination or permutation of the above activities simultaneously! ;)

My photography hobby is a real labor of love, and I find a great mix between letting some creativity out and being technical. I currently own a Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 18-200mm zoom lens. I am always renting different lenses however, and may look to add some to my "own" collection soon. You can check out some of my work on my blog photokicks.blogspot.com as well as www.alexalmeidaphotography.com

My geek side comes out when I decide to annoy the wife (only kidding) by playing hours of some Fantasy/Sci-Fi RPG, or the latest release on Xbox or Wii. I also leave some of my fantasy/sci-fi hobby to the imaginative side of the brain by reading novels, where I have more room to interpret the story a little more, with a less being put together for me visually! I particularly like any media that delivers a fantastic storyline be it, a video game, song, book, comic, or movie.

Feel free to follow me, but be warned, I am officially giving you "THE GEEK ALERT"!
