Hello
Hi, you have reached the Home Page of the Strauss Family.
Here, you can catch up with what we have been doing for the past 25 years
and see some photos of our family.
Recent History
We live in Texas in a community 30 miles north of Houston
called The Woodlands. Both of us are transplants and love it here.
I am from the Northeast, having moved from Connecticut with stops along the way
in Richmond, VA and Chicago, IL.
My wife is from Russelsheim, Germany and is now a naturalized US citizen.
Since June 1999, I have been employed at Chicago Bridge & Iron in The Woodlands,
an international specialty engineering-construction company. Prior to that I
worked at three engineering-construction companies, Foster Wheeler USA and
The M.W. Kellogg Company in Houston, and Procon International, in Chicago.
Family
My four children are growing up rapidly. Robert graduated from Stanford University in 2004 with an MBA from the Graduate School of Business and is now working in Dallas. His undergraduate degree is from the University of Texas in Austin.
Bryan graduated from Texas Tech and is now working for Bechtel Corporation in Houston.
Peter graduated from the University of Texas in 2004 and is living in Austin. Lauren graduated from high school in June 2003
and is attending the University of Texas at Austin.
I also have two step-children, Ryan and Kelly. Ryan is
in the Air Force and Kelly graduated from The Woodlands High School in 2004.
As one might
imagine, that makes for a full house when everyone is here.
