Who are you?

Charles - please tell me you have a picture from your days roaming Europe. How cool!!!

Gina, thanks for the opportunity to talk about ourselves....

I work for Ed services in the Franklin facility (here in Massachusetts). I live and grew up in Harvard, Massachusetts....apple growing country. 40 acres of pasture and woods, with a few chickens.

Technical strength: well, I am mostly a marketing type, so no UNIX code from me. But I think there are technical aspects to marketing that I have mastered over the years (including an mba from Wharton). What I am really good at is more artistic, Photography and Photoshop. In spite of the age of "everything automatic", there is a lot to know about photography, and I have been doing it professionally for many years. EMC even purchased a few of my images for wall-size blow ups at their training facility. (attached is a very recent photo taken over Christmas vacation.)

Something people don't know about me:  I play the violin (since I was 9) and still participate in local chamber music and community orchestra. I write music, especially duets for strings that I can play with my daughter who is very talented on the viola (the larger cousin to the violin). Years ago (in my college youth) I played the violin on the street corners of Europe (Venice, Florence, Saltzburg, Paris) making money while roaming the continent on a eurrail pass.

Comments? thanks.

1. I live in Massachusetts but I am originally from Japan

2. When I was a field SE, I specialized in enterprise SAN planning and design. Now, I'm more of a generalist, trying to keep up with expanding EMC product portfolio

3. My post-graduate thesis was on computational magnetohydrodynamics... said another way 'space geek!'

Magneto-what? Can't pronounce that word. Sounds interesting. What is is like adapting to a new environment and spearheading activities in the training offerings group for EMC?

1. I am from the south Shore of Boston, MA and have lived there my whole life. I am with Education Services and work within the associate program to learn the ropes. I work in the Franklin office.

2. Have worked with IP and windows server environments my whole life, but now i am learning everything there is to know about SAN. the latest project i worked on was PowerPath.

3. I love anything Disney, disney wold, movies, pretty much anything. Guess i'm still a kid at heart  :-)

Cool! I used to be a sys admin for the Computational Facility at the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Maybe you can explain this to me  in plain English!!

Hi everyone, I live in Rhode Island and work in Franklin.  Gotta love it, only 12 minutes away!  I really do get the best of both worlds.

I don't hold a technical certification, but I do have a Master's Degree from SUNY and a certificate in Online Teaching from UCLA. My job involves a great deal of writing and editing, for websites, articles, and collateral.  And, I also get to work with our EMC Proven Professional Knowledge Sharing authors throughout the year to ensure that their articles are scheduled, posted and the very best they can be!

One thing that most people don't know about me....hmmmmmm.  I was once the soloist in a ballet performance.  Nothing major, just a dance recital when I was about 10 years old.  But I remember that feeling of standing in front of a crowd, the music starting, forgetting my first step, and then just letting go of thought and dancing.

Greetings!  I live in Washington - working on global EMC projects.

I have an MBA from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business.  I passed the Series 6 and 63 license exam (from my days in finnacial services marketing at Fidelity Investments).  I am part of the EMC Global Services Marketing organization and support Education Services.

I am the Launch Manager for the EMC Proven Professional Online Community and am managing the internal and external communication plan for the Information Storage and Management book launch.

Did you know...  I launched the 529 College Plans and Active Trader Wesbite while at Fidelity. I love to travel and had the pleasure of exploring Fiji, New Zealand and Australia with my family last year.

Ballet, musicals, orchestra....we could start an in-house production.
