Mike Schneider AKA (Gong) Foodad

REVIEWS EDITOR
Seth Levine AKA ReviewDad
A noodad in the truest sense, Seth became a father in the past year with the birth of his son. Always fascinated by gadgets and product design,fatherhood opened up a whole new world of products to covet and examine. And through his role as Noodad.com’s Review Editor, he has endless opportunity to opine (a favorite pastime) on functionality and design virtues and/or flaws. Seth’s day job as an account director at a national marketing agency gives him another unique perspective on products. He knows well that to market a product requires that you know it and to know a product requires that you use (and sometimes abuse) it…which makes him especially well suited to head up testing at Noodad Test Labs. His email is reviewdad [at] noodad [dot] com
COLUMNIST
Latia Harris AKA The Chick
When she’s not translating toddler speak and watching Dora the Explorer with her 2 year old daughter, newly single mom Latia is a full time make-up artist for Benefit Cosmetics, freelance photographer, freelance writer, and lead singer of the rock band, Vester Likes Blondes. In her spare time she likes to online shop, sleep, and occasionally lose her mind.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Charles Gillis AKA Charles Gillis
Charles has two boys; one who likes Machiavelli and Edgar Allen Poe, another who is destined to be a Three Stooges fan. Topping out at 5 foot 8 in his dress shoes, Charles recognizes that his 99% percentile boys will be able to kick his ass in about a decade. In anticipation of this reality, Charles is working hard to win the mental game now during these formative years. When he isn’t dodging airborne sippy cups he works as a regional manager for an international law firm.
Paul Simpson AKA Wahoodad
Seven years ago, Paul was the proud father of a six-week-old son when he was summarily dispatched from the payroll of his start-up dot-com employer. Thanks to that fateful management decision and a remarkable wife, he’s now an author, freelance writer, and a stay-at-home dad to two boys, ages 7 and 2 1/2. He spends his time in the world of the stay-at-home parent, a place dominated by moms, minivans, play dates, and playgrounds. Do not look to him for sympathy if your stay-at-home wife is riding your ass about getting home from work at a reasonable hour to help out with the kids. As a stay-at-home parent, he offers insight into the pleasures and challenges of the primary caregiver.
Chris Martin AKA Screwdad
Chris is a freelance photographer, wannabe movie maker and a father of 2. Based outside of Los Angeles, Chris enjoys walks in the park, summer rain showers, and long candlelight talks with his wife. Unfortunately, his wife prefers beer drinking, pwning at Madden for XBox, and checking out pictures of hot celebrity moms.
