With having had a bunch of new people following me on Twitter and through Posterous in recent weeks, I wanted to be sure to sort of re-introduce myself to you all and give you some idea about me.
I am Andre Archimbaud (thus, arshimbo) and I am 36 and live in New York City. I have been here for 11+ years. I am a media person at my core. I have worked as a producer in tv, radio and film. I have worked as a media salesperson for the balance of the last 8 years. I now work for Yahoo! selling the very specialized service that is HotJobs. It’s a unique sell and challenging, given the current state of the economy. That said, Yahoo! is an amazing company to work for and they make a great atmosphere, for sure. My two passions outside of media (and they’re still both very related) are baseball and music. (I have been a fan of the Yankees for the last 36 years!!!) That said, I can, will and have watched any riveting ball game. A few years ago, at the peak of my insanity, I turned to watching the Caribbean Winter Leagues. That was fun…and overboard. I am also a rabid music consumer. It was either Basie or Ellington who said, ‘There are two types of music…good and bad!’. (That will not be the last time you hear me say that…). I can hold forth on nearly any genre or oeuvre of music. I own about 1500 recordings and have owned over 5000 at different times. I studied music production in college, as well. Sometimes, and in past posts, I will post lyrics or poems of my own… I am also a pizza connoisseur. Living in New York makes that easy. So, that’s it about me. How about you??? Tell me about YOU!
