Me and the Mrs.
Beer. Beer. Beer. Beer.
The best things I've ever created.
I believe ads can do good.
Family matters.
We have our moments.
But it all comes down to loving one another.
This is our life. Enjoy the view.
We are the Strudwick's. Shane. Chris. Skylar. Sophia. And a cat named Kudoo. The two best things I've ever heard are 'I do.' and 'It's a girl!'
Yes, it’s true. The Strudwick family started online. Chris and I met in Seattle when everyone was freaking out about Y2K. The rest is awesome.
After a journey to Alaska and sharing our vows atop Mt. Aleyeska we moved back to Seattle and started a family. In January of 2004 we were blessed when Skylar Anne joined us in our tiny home in Beacon Hill. Not soon there after we moved to Seoul and enjoyed all that Korea has to offer. Sky still loves banana milk and Dad loves kimchi. Then we found out Sophia was coming and moved back to the US, Saint Louis as a matter of fact. Today, we live in beautiful Houston, Texas and love the weather, the people and bbq (Shane and the girls do, Chris not so much).
We all have our hobbies. Our jobs. Our friends. And we’re all happy. Even happier when family comes to visit.
Skylar is in 2nd grade. Plays the violin. Is a Girl Scout. And loves ‘Monster High’ Dolls. Sophia is going to Pre-K. Plays the drums. Wants to play soccer and she loves playing ‘Jimmie and Jack Jack’ with her sister. Shane creates things. Both at work and around the house. Chris teaches yoga, pilates and takes spin classes. She also works for a Security Company as a bookkeeper so don’t mess with her. Our weekends are packed with events and memories. Life is good.

My passion is making communications that matter. Regardless of media I've had the joy of working with great clients making fun, smart ads. Try them, they are 100% fat free.
I am a collection of the people that I've worked with and the opportunities I have enjoyed.

We had Skylar’s SCUBA Party for her 8th birthday. It was a blast. The pool was great. All the kids, that wanted to, tried SCUBA diving. Amazing to see how well they did considering they are 8 and never had done before. For pics go here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150509361522326.378385.690367325&type=1
