TMP 2000

Hello, TMP Class of 2000! What a turnaround from the last Kellogg World! Congratulations to everyone for providing so many great updates — keep them coming!

If you enjoy reading the updates and don't receive a quarterly reminder from yours truly about submitting Class Notes, perhaps your alumni email forwarding address hasn't been set up. To do this go to alumni.kellogg.northwestern.edu. While you are there, be sure to sign up for the TMP Class of 2000 listserv. On with the updates!

Ivan Barriga writes: "Monica and I wed on Valentine's Day 2001 in the heart of San Francisco. We've been living in the Bay Area since graduation and we made our home in the beautiful city of Oakland. I've been blessed to receive California's first islet cell transplant as part of a clinical research trial to cure diabetes. I'm also a mortgage consultant for Wells Fargo, specializing in residential and investment property financing in all 50 states. Contact me for assistance with your mortgage. Cheers to GIM South Africa '00 and Argentina/Chile '99!" Ivan is generously donating $300 to the Kellogg School Annual Fund with EVERY loan, so let's all do our part to use Ivan's skills when we can. Ivan can be reached at ivan.barriga@wellsfargo.com. (ivanbarriga.com).

Dave Boyer finally left Chicago in September (after 12 years) to move to the Bay Area (perhaps Dave and Ivan can meet up!) and work for eBay Motors in a business development role. Dave is working closely with Kellogg grads Mike McLaughlin '01 and Rob Chesney '98. Since moving to California he's taken up surfing and can be found at the beach nearly every weekend. Dave can be reached at daboyer@ebay.com or 408.376.5639.

Sue Ficek is currently director of accounting at Andrew Corp.'s headquarters in Orland Park, Ill. Andrew is a $1.5 billion telecommunications manufacturer primarily supporting the wireless industry. Since joining Andrew, Sue has spent a significant amount of time traveling to new locations for large SAP systems implementations and just recently returned from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Watch out for those caipirinhas, Sue!

Amy Johnson writes: "On Oct. 9 several TMP alumni gathered at the round tables and giant lazy susans of the Evergreen restaurant in Chinatown to catch up with each other's happenings. Marriages, baby pictures, upcoming due dates and new jobs were all shared, as well as our inability to drink as much beer as we did in China six years ago. We really missed those who were unable to join us (Applebys, Cathy, Jerry, Tres, Shaila, Greg, Shane, Andy, Steve, Matt) and ask that you drop us a line from time to time. Our listserv address (which is still active) is ChinaGIM98@listserv.it.northwestern.edu. Amy can be reached at als4@comcast.net or 312.444.3237.

Dan McDevitt has left RR Donnelley to head up global material sourcing centers for Andrew Corp. (and, apparently, will be working with fellow TMP '00 alum Sue Ficek). The frequent global travel is offset by Andrew's location within 15 minutes of home. Dan can be reached at daniel.mcdevitt@andrew.com.

U.S. Navy officer Chris Monroe currently is stationed at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and was recently appointed to the personal staff of the chief of naval operations (CNO) as a special assistant for strategic action. The CNO is the uniformed head of the U.S. Navy and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Chris can be reached at ctm172@usermail.com.

Tres Roeder writes: "Elizabeth and I welcomed a new son to our family! Parker John was born Oct. 6. Mommy, baby and big brother Garrett are all doing great! Tres can be reached at roeder_tres@roederconsulting.com.

	Rich '01 and Corina Yeh TMP '00 with baby Allison

On Oct. 1, Rich TMP '01 and Corina Yeh were blessed with the birth of their first child, Allison Yeh. She weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces, and measured 17.5 inches at birth, but is now more than twice that weight and giggles when they sing nursery songs to her. Rich and Corina are still in the Bay Area. Corina is at Intel in a marketing role, while Rich is at Samsung in a strategic marketing role. Rich can be reached at ryeh@yahoo.com. By the way, Rich, nice artwork on the wall in the photo you sent! I still have my paintings from China hanging proudly in my home as well ...

After many years of consulting, Darin Prado (yes, that's me) has left Hewlett Packard Consulting to become the SAP design and configuration lead for PepsiCo's order to cash team. I am thrilled to finally leave the "road warrior" lifestyle of consulting and enjoy taking the train to PepsiCo's convenient West Loop location. I can now be reached at darin.a.prado@pepsico.com.

SAVE THE DATE! Our fifth reunion will be held the weekend of April 29–May 1. Interested in helping out? Please contact Rachel Carlstead at r-carlstead@kellogg.northwestern.edu for additional information. Let's keep our class networked by submitting lots of great updates for the spring edition.
