Chris's Story
Hey everyone, this is Chris Thomas. Its been a short 20 years since highschool. Not sure I would recognize anyone, or if anyone would recognize me.
About me...hmm. I have been married for nearly 20 years to Jill (Larson) Thomas. We haven't had kids yet. Does two dogs count?
After HS, I joined the Navy and spent 5 years in California surfing Coronado and New Port beaches and occasionally worked on H60Cs as an Electrican.
Anyway, got out in 93' and went back to college at Kansas State. Jill recieved an Electrical Engineering Degree and I went to school for Construction Science and Managment. After school, Jill got a great gig in Colorado Springs working for LSI Logic. I started work for Keller Homes as a Superintendent. We bought our first house with a view of Pikes Peak and enjoyed 5 years of the Colorado lifestyle. We spent countless weekends skiing, mountain biking and working in our yard. Our favorite part of Colorado was spending time at Beaver Creek and Creste Butte and Telluride. Nothing better than soft powder on the first run of the day.
Fast forward to today. We live in "sunny" Portland Oregon. Its a great area t...Expand for more
o live. We are an hour from the beach and hour from Mount Hood.
What do we do...? Jill works for Intel and I am VP of Operations for Spyglass Capital. We build condos, student housing and mid rise and high rise stuff.
We are planning on moving back to Mo in a couple of years. Our moms and dads are getting up there in years and I'd like to spend more time with them. My parents live down in Boliver on Pomm de Terre lake and Jills folks lives down on Table Rock. I was a lake baby, so sitting on a jet ski, tubing, wind surfing and fishing is what I like to do.
My hobbies? I work alot. I guess thats the midwest work ethic thing. I mountain bike alot and we camp everyone weekend if its not raining. Jill and I are also avid hikers.
In the winter, I trek home to bird hunt with my father n law in Nebraska, Kansas and SDakota. I couldn't hit the broad side of the barn, but I love it anyway. I also enjoy golf and play as much as I can and hit the ball like I hunt. I have gotten better over the years and wished that I started playing golf when I was a kid.
Anyway, thats it from me. I wish everyone well in all their endeavors.
