Christopher Robert Wunn Born March 23rd, 1981 in Columbus, Ohio Email: mailto:Free200@aol.com Skype: chrisanddanielle1
Dale & Peggy were already proud parents of a 5 year old girl, Jennifer when Chris was born, living in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. In 1983, the Wunn family moved to Lawrenceville, Georgia, following Dale's work with Rockwell International. We originally moved to a split-level home on Cedar Drive, where we lived for about 5 years before moving about one block to Brookfield Drive in 1988. This home remains in the Wunn family to this day (It is our home, in fact!).
Chris and Jen were both water-bugs and could regularly be found at the Springbrook Country Club's pools during the summer. This quickly became a competitive passion for both brother and sister, and we swam for SwimAtlanta for a total of over 15 years! I favored Butterfly, particularly the 200 meter race, in which I placed 7th at the 1995 Southern Zone meet (the championship meet for 14 southern states).
Though my passion for swimming was by far the strongest affinity I had for any sport, I also enjoyed baseball in my youth and played football for the Collins Hill Eagles until 10th grade. I definetly enjoy many sports in my adult life, including swimming, skiing (water and snow), Scuba, softball, and most recently jogging.
I attended Georgia Southern University as a Bell Honors Program scholar where I obtained a BS in Computer Science. While at GSU, I worked a full-time software development co-op with NCR and served as the techincal guru for a web-based bilingual dictionary funded by a National Education Foundation grant.
After five fun years at GSU I moved back to Brookfield Drive . I consulted in Buckhead for a while and Danielle and I married in October 2004. In November I took a position with ClickTactics, Inc. in Duluth. This position was much closer to home.
I eventually found my way to Siemens Electronics Assembly Systems in Norcross, GA, close enough to home to be comfortable, but large enough to be a secure, mature business.
The home office for Siemens is in Munich, Germany. I made my first trip in May 2006 and several others during '06 and '07. On September 14, 2007 I began an extended stay in Munich. Working with a new group of co-workers and experiencing the feeling of a very large office (more than 1000 employees), was very interesting.
We adjusted to European life in just a few weeks and took advantage of the opportunity to travel Europe through weekend trips.
Back at home since late May 2008, I have been enjoying the familiar joys of life in our hometown. I've had a chance to visit family and many friends, though it will be quite a summer trying to catching up with everyone!

Danielle Marie Ducharme Wunn Born July 31st, 1982 in Colorado Springs, Colorado Email: mailto:daniellewunn@aol.com Skype: chrisanddanielle1
The youngest of two children for Marc & Jodeen Ducharme, Danielle has an older sister Darcy, who is almost 3 years older. She also has an older half brother, John. The Ducharme's moved from Colorado to Stone Mountain, Ga in '85, where the family lived in the Stone Mountain Village area and the girls attended Mainstreet Elementary.
Danielle enjoyed swimming and tennis as a youngster, and carried the love of these sports into her teen and adult years. When the family moved to their home of Rock Springs Road in Lawrenceville, she swam with the Springbrook swim team. She played tennis at Countryside and was a varsity starter all four years at Collins Hill High School. She was also involved in much more than sports during her years at Collins Hill High School, including earning a full year of college credits during her senior year of high school.
Danielle met Chris her second week of high school through a mutual friend. As their mutual friendship developed, her secret crush for the upper classman grew. It wasn't until Chris came back from Georgia Southern University for a weekend, that he and Danielle had their first date. Who knew five years almost to date, that they would be married!
Danielle spent three years at Wesleyan College in Macon, GA to earm her college degrees. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a double major in Communications and Marketing/Advertising with a minor is Business. After graduating just a week after Chris, we both moved back to Lawrenceville to get a head start on planning the wedding and to enjoy the short month of vacation before Danielle started her "real" job at JWT, where she planed media for Ford Motor Company in Atlanta. In November 2005, Danielle transistioned from the Ford account to an Account Manager position with the United States Marine Corps. The new position was challenging and fun and provided her several opportunities to travel to Chicago and Charlotte. In mid-2006, Danielle was offered the position vacated by her former boss and moved back to the Ford Motor Company media planning team. Danielle worked at JWT for just over three years before she left for Germany.
At home in Lawrenceville, Chris and Danielle spend lots of time outside taking the dogs to the park, jogging, swimming, and biking. They have a boat and spend as many days as possible on Lake Lanier. Mom and Dad Wunn have recently moved back to Georgia and have the perfect backyard, so many nights are spent there cooking out and swimming in their pool.
While in Germany, Danielle has really discovered her passion for cooking. She really enjoys being creative in the kitchen, and so far no one has complained! She can't wait to get home and try out some of the more complicated recipes in a fully stocked kitchen and her great stovetop! She also loves walking and jogging around the parks in Munich. She is in better shape than she has been in a long time!
