About Us
We launched this Web site in January 2006 to help
us stay connected with family and friends we don't get to see
as often as we'd like. The site is a work in progress and we hope
to add more content soon -
photos, stories, etc. We have also set up a few blogs, although Lisa is really the only one who posts anything (so far).
Also, as it may be easy to get the (Chiu-)Thomas family
members confused, to help you remember who's who, we've created
this handy side-by-side comparison of us:

|
| who i am: |
I'm a husband,
dad and software/operations research consultant. When I'm not working, I'm usually fretting about the lawn. |
I'm a wife, mom, writer, editor and media
relations specialist. When I'm not working, I'm often watching "Law & Order: SVU" and folding laundry. |
I'm
a son, brother and Monopoly Junior enthusiast. When I'm not learning how to read and write, I am busy plotting ways to overthrow my crazy parents. |
I'm
the latest addition to the family. I'm young, but I expect to join my brother soon in implementing his plan to stage a family coup. |
| what i do: |
I combine the strong technical skills of an experienced software
engineer with the quantitative skills of an operations research
specialist. In my spare time, I work on the lawn. |
I develop, write and edit quality content. I manage people and projects. I specialize in sharing compelling stories. I indulge an obsession with popular culture. |
I devour plates of ravioli in record
time. I read, write and play with action figures. I am interested in the concept of infinity. I love the word "googolplex". |
I eat and sleep most hours of the day. I also fill diapers faster than you can say "PU!" I love to amuse my big brother Nico. |
| what i offer: |
I offer 15 years of professional experience. Before I launched my consulting business, I worked for several software operations. My specialties include software design, financial engineering, and database management. |
I have
a strong background in journalism, publishing,
marketing and communications. My work has appeared in
publications including People and the
San
Jose
Mercury
News. |
My specialties include basic addition and subtraction. I am good at counting to 100 by 2s, 3s and 5s. I am also highly skilled in mimicry. |
I offer a winning, albeit toothless, smile that is sure to charm. I have other talents too, but none that are too marketable as of yet.
|
| where i studied: |
I
have a B.S. degree in computer engineering from Case
Western Reserve University and
a master's degree
in management, operations research (with a concentration in finance), from CWRU's Weatherhead
School of Management. |
I have a B.A. in English from Case Western Reserve University and an M.A. in journalism from The Ohio State University. (Go BUCKS!) |
I have 2.5 years of early childhood education from the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Stepping Stones Program. I am currently enrolled in kindergarten. |
I have no formal education, but I am quickly becoming quite street (well, OK, sidewalk)-savvy. |
