Happy Summer! “Wow, can’t believe we are knocking on the door of 10 years since graduation!” writes Doug Monro, and we couldn’t agree more. Time flies when you are as busy as our class has been. Here’s what has happened recently.

More from Doug: “After three years disrupting the online property space in the U.K., I left my role as COO at Zoopla to found classified ads search engine Adzuna. No rest for the wicked. Kim and the boys (Tom, 5 and Arthur, 2) are well. We are loving London’s newfound sunny warm weather — one of the positive side effects of global warming.”

Tobi Laczkowski and family moved to Switzerland in April for Tobi to work in ZS Associates’ Zurich office. The family (including Tiffany, Grant, Charlie and Caroline) has been been busy traveling on weekends to explore the area.

For the last five years, Heidi Eggert has lived in Portland, Ore. For most of that time, she had been working as vice president of marketing for an entrepreneurial nonprofit focused on creating innovative energy and water solutions for organizations like the Grammys, the Oscars, Major League Baseball, Patagonia and Silk Soymilk. She writes: “In that role, I got to work with our very own Josh Holmstrom, who is a marketing director at WhiteWave Foods in Colorado! A couple months ago I left the world of full-time employment to start my own brand strategy and consumer-insights consulting business. If any Kellogg folks are ever in the Portland area, please send me a note. My husband, daughter and I would love to have you over for dinner. Seriously. We like to cook and love having people over. Folks like Megan Lewis, Teresa Lee, Ashley Martorana, Kat Gregory, Vanessa Zielke, Erica (Post) Raab and Dave Burke have all joined us for dinner. Send me an email!”

Jon Neuhaus writes: “I’m working in PWM at Morgan Stanley and living in Hermosa Beach while splitting time in the Bay Area. Also I’m reveling in the Packer Super Bowl victory and had the opportunity to see Dan Nettesheim, who is a fellow Packer fan and finishing up a successful season coaching Little League in Palos Verdes (as the league’s only non-parent, unmarried coach). I hope to see Lynn and Johnny Thee later this summer, and wish the best to all of my fellow classmates!”

Shannon and Brooke Stabbert welcomed Katherine Elena Stabbert into the world on March 22, weighing in at 8 pounds, 4 ounces. “Mother and baby are great.”

Omar Saad left Credit Suisse to join ISI Group in New York as a senior managing director heading up up ISI’s apparel, footwear and softlines equity research team. He, wife Karen, daughter Grace (10), and sons Jack (7) and Owen (4) are enjoying suburban life on the “Jersey Shore” in Fair Haven, N.J. — only a short ferry ride from Manhattan.

Aaron Levine shares: “My wife Annie and I welcomed Olive Rose Levine, born on Cinco de Mayo. We considered naming her Tequila in honor of the day but thought better of it. In a more general update, we moved from San Diego to San Francisco at the end of 2009, and I work in interactive marketing at Genentech, enjoying working in particular with the cystic fibrosis population that one of our products treats.”

It’s been a busy year for Steve Pockross: “I moved back to Denver in the fall and we had our second son, Jude Shai Pockross, in March. Denver’s been a great change. I continue to work for LiveOps based in the Bay Area and am enjoying working from home. It’s been great getting to see the Denver contingent from the class of ‘02, including Joe Michaud, Jim Nollsch, Dave Burke and Scott Vandeburgt.

Alex Bergmann and wife Wenqi Ma welcomed twins Veronika and Brahm on April 23. They join their parents and older brother Max (2) in Short Hills N.J.

Congrats to all on your exciting news!
