Refresh Houston was tonight (more photos here). As always, it was a chance to meet some really interesting people. Speaking of Refresh, Refresh BCS will have its 2nd meeting on May 9th (details here). Roby Fizhenry (pictured above) will be presenting “Design is _____.” Should be a great time, he’s a really cool guy.
Rudy Guiliani and Stephen Hawking

I didn’t get any good photos of either of these speakers. I was using my 50mm lens, which is great for closeups but not so great for these kinds of shots. I really need a good zoom lens. Rudy Giuliani came to Texas A&M today. I was rather disappointed, he basically plans to keep up [...]
Refresh BCS
on April 11, 2007 with 0 comments
(more photos here) Tonight we had the first Refresh Bryan/College Station. It was much better than I expected, and I expected it to be pretty amazing. We had about 20 people there, and Erica gave a presentation on the rise of the creative class – very appropriate, as we’re trying to organize the creative class [...]
Startup 101 and Summer Plans
on April 3, 2007 with 0 comments
(here’s the rest of the photos from Startup 101) Today was the last day of Startup 101, a business seminar about starting your own business. I thought this day was more interesting than the last one because rather than just a general summary of starting up, it focused on financing and marketing (speaker was Mike [...]
Business Startup Seminar
on March 27, 2007 with 0 comments
I went to the first meeting of my Business Startup Seminar today. Didn’t really learn anything new (I guess that’s why it’s called “Business Startup 101″) but I did get to meet a really cool entrepreneur and professor from A&M. He’s working on some pharmaceutical startup and a social networking one. Hopefully he’ll be able [...]
Bob Gfelder, Senior VP of Lowe's

More photos at Mays Business School’s flickr page. This is why I like taking photos for the business school – I get to listen (and shoot) some really interesting speakers. The Senior Vice President of Lowe’s came to speak to Marketing MBA class and gave a great presentation on Lowe’s marketing strategy. My undergrad classes [...]
CEO of Walmart
on March 2, 2007 with 0 comments
Eduardo Castro-Wright is the CEO of the Wal-Mart Stores Division in the United States, and he came to speak to the Texas A&M MBA Students today. I didn’t expect his speech to be so interesting. He has the passion and excitement you’d expect from the entrepreneurs behind a startup, except it’s applied to one of [...]
BP Trading Competition
on February 11, 2007 with 0 comments
Last week BP held a trading competition here at the Business School. It was a pretty cool simulation where you trade LNG (liquid natural gas) based on a stream of fake news that updates every couple of seconds. Most of my photos recently have been from the business school. Since I work here as a [...]
Retailing Career Fair
on February 1, 2007 with 0 comments
Yesterday we had the Retailing Career Fair here at the business school and I was the designated photographer. The lighting wasn’t that great so I got a lot of really dark or blurry images, but a few did come out pretty well (like the one above). More shots from this event can be found on [...]
