Hi,my name isChad and I'm Zillow's Controller. I watch Zillow's bottom lineand am probably the cheapest person at the Company lol (which is a good fit for my role). I'm a CPA which means I'm good with numbers but terrible with this sort of stuff...so I'll keep the intro brief. I love working at Zillow because I'm constantly challenged with creating new processes and controls, developing the financial crystal ball and engaging with all the smart and fun peeps we have working here.
I'm originally from Hong Kong - yes, China. I grew up there and then moved to the U.S. just before junior high. I lived in Los Angeles for much of my life, but also spent a lot of time in Silicon Valley, Boston, Melbourne Australia and I've been in Seattle since mid-2006. Before I was at Zillow, I worked for Ticketmaster (please don't hate me).
I live in Fremont with my wife, Jackie and our naughty Senegal Parrot, Bugsy. If you hear a bird screaming, laughing obnoxiouslyor doing the cat call between Troll and Albion Pl. on 35th street, that's mine.
If you've got any questions about Zillow or how the site works, feel free to ping me.
Enjoy your day!
