My name is Rusty Greer. I am from Chattanooga, TN, and currently residing in Nashville for the past 3 ½ – 4 years (i don’t really remember). I have been working on my Bachelor’s degree at ITT Technical Institute in Information Systems Security (that’s ISS for short). I was supposed to graduate in June of this year (2009), but I did a lot of skipping in my first two years there, and now I am just trying to get done!
I am currently working at Lowes Home Improvement as a department manager for Millwork, where I also have been a d.m. for Building Materials, Lumber & Commercial Sales. I originally started in the flooring department as a CSA (customer service associate) back in November of 2006 (17th to be exact). After about six months in that department, I was requested to come to Installed Sales as a coordinator (shorlty after the death of Brad) by the sales manager at the time, Matt Mendenhall. I worked there for about a year and then got promoted to department manager of building materials.
I am a huge internet/tech junkie and can pretty much answer all of your computer questions. I don’t like to, but I can. I am hooked up to about every internet website or social network that is BIG (Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Digg, etc.) I have even met Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht (diggnation)when they came to Chattanooga back in 2006 for Cr8. I had a chance to meet Gary Vaynerchuck from Wine Library TV, but he just couldn’t get out of meetings when he was here in Nashville, back in March of 2009 for a large wine tasting event. I used to watch TechTV, but after it turned into g4, I pretty much lost interest. That’s when I made a transition to Rev3, an online television network headed up by Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson.
I am currently the owner of an iPhone 3G (not 3GS) 16GB black. It is unlocked thanks to the iPhone Dev Tem, but I am still an AT&T customer unfortunately. I have been a Cingular customer since I was 18, but then AT&T bought them out a few years back and it went to crap since then.
I am also a music junkie as well. I actually used to be a radio dj here in Nashville on 102.9 The Buzz (a rock station). I worked there for about 2½ years before the new boss man that came from out west, fired the entire part time staff back in January of 2008 (11th). I used to be a permanent weekender, Saturdays 6-10 and Sundays 6-10 and everything in between! I would cover for many of the full timers during the week if they were sick and some times pull double shifts on the weekends. To be completely honest, that was the best job that I ever had, I never paid for tickets to any show that I wanted to go to, and pretty much got a lot of extra CDs and station paraphernalia.
Lets just say that I got to meet Trent Reznor, Vinnie Paul, Josh Sneed(comedian), Gallagher and many others via station events.
WARNING: SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION
If you ever know a station that needs a dj, I have my CDs and I can send you some audio of my shows!
