Class Note 1999
Issue
Sep - Oct 2017
Hello, ’99s!
I hope those of you in the northern hemisphere made the most of the warm weather and that your autumn is off to a good start. We have some great updates to share!
First, Rex Morey and his wife, Amy (Virginia Tech ’00), welcomed their second child, Cooper, into their family on June 10. Rex writes that his 4-year-old daughter, Payton, was very excited to become a big sister and meet her new little brother. Rex and his family moved to Seattle in early 2015, when he took a job with Amazon. After leading a pricing and analytics team in the U.S. media group for the past two and a half years, Rex recently started a new role with the U.S. Prime program.
Rex has settled into Seattle life well and spends time with Jorge Valcarel, Craig Whitmer ’97, Kristen White Omdorff ’04 and their families. Rex writes: “Please let me know if you have any ideas to improve Prime and look us up if you make it out to Seattle!” Congratulations, Rex and Amy!
Jeff Fine also writes in with a big change. He writes: “After 18 years in Chicago I am moving back to Boston to be closer to my family. It is bittersweet leaving Chicago after all these years.” Jeff took on a new role as vice president of performance media and data strategy at Mercury Media and looks forward to hearing from any classmates in the Boston area. He adds: “Before I left Chicago I visited Dave Dookeeram in Denver for a weekend of beers and baseball!” What an end to an era!
That’s all the news for now. I hope you are all well and look forward to sharing more updates with you soon!
