Hi, I'm Christopher!
Howdy, Bonanzlers!
It’s time to introduce another new face around the ranch. My name is Christopher Thomas, and I have just finished my first week as Bonanzle’s official User Experience Designer. That means I’m working with Alex and the rest of the Bonanzle team to make sure that Bonanzle sellers and buyers have an enjoyable experience as they interact with the site.
A few weeks ago my wife and I packed up everything we own and drove from one side of the country to the other, moving from eastern Pennsylvania to Seattle. Along the way we picked up some fried cheese curds in Wisconsin, dropped in on the Minnesota State Fair, got a speeding ticket in North Dakota, and sat in awe of the emptiness of Montana.
Before the big move I worked with Alex on some of the changes you’ve seen around the site, my favorite of which is the reworking of the search results pages and the handy search filters we added there. As we grow and make Bonanzle a better place to buy and sell, you’ll see more of my handiwork and hopefully find yourself saying things like, “Wow, that new feature made life so much easier!”
Outside of the office I love making music (I’ve been playing drums for 15 years or so), re-watching episodes of LOST, wearing hoodies, and making my wife roll her eyes at my bad jokes. I was told that if I had a dog or kids I could potentially get some instant brownie points in the Bonanzle community. Sadly, I have neither.
I’m pumped to be here at Bonanzle! Let’s make great things happen!

Hi Christopher!
Too bad you didn’t tavel a bit south and come through South Dakota. Had you done so, you may have avoided that ticket.
Besides, South Dakota has cooler stuff to see than our sister to the north.
Welcome Chris! Enjoy your new home on the west coast
BTW Beautiful children and dog even tho they are not yours!
Welcome, Chris! Can’t wait to see all of your new ideas.
Well you have the wife and you are a Lost fan so get a cat and we will fall in love with ya!
Welcome Christopher
we’ll let you slide on the pets and kids till you get settled in
Welcome Christopher!
Glad your trip was safe, too bad about the ticket (don’t forget to pay).
Hope you settle in just fine – and don’t forget to shop for some RAIN GEAR, may I suggest my place of choice to shop while in Seattle (or any other location) is Bonanzle.com!
Welcome Christopher!!
No pets or kids needed – LOL
Hi Christopher!! Came to see who you were all about, and you might get a brownie point from the wife if you had one or the other….hint….
Best wishes in the new home, and new life!!
Keep your code lean mean and fast and you will have a fan for life. Your enemy is not a competing site, it is the Intel Atom netbook processor.
You have been warned.
Keep it real mah man
Howdy Christopher! Its great to see another super talented member on the team. Let’s make Bonanzle the best shopping site on the planet.
Welcome and Good Luck to you and your family.
Welcome Chris, As a mom and grandma, a dog is cheaper!! LOL
PS Those just HAD to be the best cheese curds ever right?
(cheesehead)
Welcome, Chris! If you decide you need a dog or a kid, I can lend ya mine… fast!
Hi, everyone! Thanks for the kind welcome!
I should mention that I actually do go by the longer-than-convenient “Christopher” rather than “Chris”. But all the same, I appreciate the welcome comments!
Welcome! Looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve.
Welcome Christopher.
Everyone should suffer… I mean enjoy having kids, dogs, and cats. Maybe when you get settled.
Good Luck in your new job.
Welcome to the Ranch!
Welcome, Christopher; great to have you join the Bonanzle Team! Loved your Bio; you’re pretty humorous too (like the other guys around here)LOL!
I wish you the best as you get settled in. You’re on an excellent site, where they care about their Customers (Seller, Buyers, everyone alike).
Sincerely,
Cheryl
From all the way in Aussieland, Christopher welcome and I hope you have a great time here on Bonanzle.
Welcome Christopher, you’re going to love it here.
Welcome Christopher
Well Christopher,
I guess you’d best get working on that kid and dog, because they are what makes life truly special…(You’ll find out once you do.)
Anyway, welcome to the crew! I know that was a long ride…went from New Jersey to Nevada once and will never forget it. I hope to do it again too in the future~
Warmest welcome and best wishes to you and your wife.

Hi Christopher,
My home state is PA, and I have made the trip westward to Cali 3 times. I wouldn’t trade those trips for anything, have always loved the adventure!

Hi Christopher,
Welcome to Bonanzle. I look forward to seeing the creative ideas you will bring. This month on the 26th it will be my 2nd year anniversary here on Bonanzle. There have been many changes in that time and I am anticipating more wonderful improvements to this site. It is the only place I sell.
Best to you and your wife in your new venture.

Hi, I’m MONTROSe!
Welcome “Christopherâ€~~!!! If you’ll work on having my PayPal Invoices show a Breakdown of Item Prices & Shipping… then you can skip the kids and dog or cat. I’ll Love You.
My customers find it very confusing when they buy 3 or 4 items from me and their PayPal Invoice only shows a $TOTAL. Yes, they do complain to me. Thanks for your help. Dianne~
Welcome to the Bonanzle Team Christopher!
Welcome Christopher. Hope you enjoyed your cheese curds! This is quite a leap of faith for you and your wife, and I hope you enjoy your work at Bonanzle.
Welcome Christopher! Wishing you all the best, to you..and your family.
Glad to have you!
Welcome, Christopher! Looks like your quick wit and clever sense of humor will be a great match with Bill, Mark, et all in Seattle! Right now, I’m imagining a wellspring of creative ideas bouncing back and forth within the walls of that office! Glad you and your wife took that leap, and remember, we’re all swimming right along with you.
Howdy & welcome, Christopher! Don’t worry ’bout the pet thing; I got enuff critters to go around! lol
All the critters require is that you stop by and pet them once in a while. They keep the place here at Bonanzle, well, fuzzy… and well licked! Don’t mind the hissy fits; the cats just try to establish a hierarchy from time to time. The dogs will always offer a warm, wet welcome so long as you bring them goodies from any drive thru window!
The Critter Gang
Hi Christopher! Maybe we can learn the ropes together! Wishing you much success with Bonanzle.

Howdy Christopher Welcome to the Ranch, when you are ready for a pet let me know I have 16 goats and I need to get rid of 2 please!

What???? You bypassed our beautiful, breathtaking Rockies? Sounds like an exciting trip, nonetheless…and believe me, be glad you didn’t make that trip with kids or a pet! Welcome.
Hi, Christopher, welcome. Beautiful kids, great dog. I remember moving here in 1988, my first view of Mt. Rainier. Then Mt. Baker. Then St. Helens and Mt. Hood. Lots of big mountains here. Lots to do when your head fogs up with work!
Like I did for all the new techies – You have a welcome waiting for you on my blog ..
Welcome Christopher! Hope you love your new job!
