Welcome
to the official web site for Anirban Roy. Who is Anirban Roy? Ty
Herndon for all you country music fans has a phrase in one of his songs that
just sums up my life - "and when they carve my stone, all they need to write on
it is once lived a man who got all he ever wanted." That is a good way to
sum my life so far. At age 32, I have achieved more than what most people
ever will in their lifetime. It all started out in 1978 when I was
born in Brazil (my dad was overseas doing a consulting venture when I was born).
In 1989, I made my TV debut on Mr. Roger's Neighborhood in Segment 1611
where I showed the audience at home how to play
the guitar. In high school, I was a straight "A" student, president
of almost every organization I have been a part of, and dated a cheerleader.
I graduated from the University of California at Davis in 2001. In college, I was the founding president of my fraternity in college, chairman
of three political organizations on campus, and was even elected to a county position in the primary
election of 1998. I also managed political campaigns starting from my
sophomore year of college. I also had internships at prestigious
institutions during college including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Burson-Marsteller
Public Relations. After graduating from college, I joined the sales
organization in a telecommunications company and closed the largest deal in the
history of the company within my first six months in outside sales. Today,
I work for a major pharmaceutical company as a representative for human health
and specializing in cardiovascular products. In 2007, I bought my
first house (brand new 4 bedroom house with all the bells & whistles).
I have even flown an airplane (Cessna C172) with the help of my accomplished
pilot friend of course. Furthermore, I
have traveled all over the world and been to places like Japan, Singapore,
Thailand, India, England, Denmark, Aruba, Mexico, & the Netherlands.
Whether it's skiing in Tahoe or ringing in the New Year in places like Times
Square at an exclusive club or in Las Vegas at the private House of Blues
Foundation Room @ Mandalay Bay party with celebrities, I have pretty much done
it all. I am very outgoing. Moreover, I am a conservative
politically. My motto in life is "live life to
the fullest." I am East Indian and am proud of my rich cultural heritage,
but I am a proud American citizen.
What do I like to do for fun? Traveling is probably my most favorite activity. I love traveling all over the US and the world. Furthermore, I like outdoor activities and playing sports with my friends including tennis. I am into fine dining and good wines. In addition, I love water sports including sea kayaking, boating, and snorkling. Moreover, I also like to own the best "toys" available also. I think I have almost anything a guy my age could want in terms of electronic gadgets and video games, etc. Furthermore, I work out and stay fit also. I also love politics and studying about other countries and governments. I mostly listen to country music, but I also like 80s, rock/pop, and alternative music too. As far as TV goes, I currently like the Tudors, Bones, House, 24, and I watch a lot of HGTV, DIY, & Travel Channel too. I also love watching re-runs of classic shows like Seinfeld, George Lopez, and Walker Texas Ranger. For news, I swear by Fox News, and I enjoy Hannity & The O'Reiley Factor. I am also a big sports fan, and I have Directv's Sunday Ticket so I can watch the Cowboys at home during the football season. I am also a big Texas Rangers fan.
What about my professional life? No, I am not an actor by trade even though I was a "kid prodigy on the guitar" and thus made an appearance on the Mr. Roger's Show. You can see that video by the way on this site too. During college, I managed a local political campaign for Public Guardian during my sophomore year. I also worked at Lawrence Livermore National Lab for 2 summers designing programs for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and working on stress corrosion calculations for the Yucca Mountain Project (yeah that's the nerdy side of me). I also interned at Burson-Marsteller Public Relations in Sacramento during my last year of college working on state-wide ballot propositions. I was offered a position as an Account Executive with ATS Communications after I graduated from college. I worked there for almost 4 years, and in 2002, I closed the largest deal in the history of the company, bringing in a 3 year deal worth $1.75 million. After that, I was promoted to lead the newly created VOIP group, and my team exceeded our revenue goals my first year at that position by 33%. In 2005, I switched industries and accepted a position with Schering-Plough as a Professional Sales Representative. I love working for Schering-Plough. Becoming a pharmaceutical representative was my ultimate career goal after graduating from college, and Schering-Plough was my dream company to work for. After 5 years with Schering-Plough, I switched over to another large pharmaceutical company after Merck and Schering-Plough officially merged in 2009 to create the 2nd largest pharmaceutical company. I totally love my job! How many people can honestly say they love their job and love getting up each morning to go to work! I can.
What else does this site feature? This site also features a tribute to my Beloved Superbowl Dallas Cowboys and their cheerleaders. My fan site is one of the premier NFL fan sites on the web today and featured as a link on many football sites. I even had a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader write us to say how much she loved the cheerleaders site. The Anirban Roy Web Page has been around since 1996 when I started college. During college, the web site had a section called the Conservative Edge. It was a resource tool for young conservative leaders across the country to be inspired to make a difference on campus and help challenge the left. The Conservative Edge was a place for students to learn more about the conservative movement in America today. Many prominent conservative thought leaders contributed to our weekly editorials section. Thank you for visiting my site, and I hope you take some time to get to know me better as well as get your Dallas Cowboys fix by going to my fan site.
