About Me

What Makes Me Tick

I like to think I’m a combination of tech-loving geek and touch-feely people person.

What blows my mind on a regular basis is the human capacity to love and care and generally give a sincere crap about their fellow people, especially strangers. Of course once you start giving a crap about someone and doing stuff to help them, they’re a bit less of a stranger, no?

Then of course the most fascinating technologies to me are the ones that offer a new way to touch people across the globe, to share minutia with loved ones a million miles away (or downstairs in living room)  and especially to share something of yourself with a stranger making them, again, less than a stranger.

So ultimately my two halves tie together around the cause of affecting and improving the quality of people’s lives.

Then Came Twitter

In 2007 I first tweeted as @namnum. It was truly memorable and profound.

In 2008 I went to my first BarcampNYC and met people and saw stuff that changed my outlook on life forever. So much so hat I helped organize a few, just so I could get around awesome, smart people.

In March 2009, I helped @dani3boyz and @emoltzen organize the first ever LITweetup. November of that year we organized the first annual LITweetup Helps campaign where Long Island’s social media community helped collect food for Island Harvest. In 2010 I orchestrated Long Island’s first Social Media Camp and in 2011, Jeff was part of the team that brought the first ever global social media conference to Long Island, the 140 Characters Conference – Local Long Island.

In 2011 I started a company called Socialisle with a couple of friends. We’re working on ways to educate small business owners on how to use social communications and social media to grow their businesses.

Wanna Work With Me?

I’m always open to talk about amazing projects. I don’t care the size, I love helping a small business transform itself by taking advantage of the new social media tools just as much as working with a brand to solve the problem of reaching a particular niche demographic.

Just 2 things please:

  1. I’m not a bargain guy, I’m good. If you want cheap, just check around your neighborhood, there’s a ‘social media expert’ giving a seminar somewhere tonite.
  2. If you hire me for my expertise, I’m the expert. Your feedback and knowledge is crucial but you need to trust my decisions.

Get in touch, let’s chat. 516-882-7712 or @namnum is the quickest way.
