The Listia Team

Gee-Hwan is an entrepreneur that has worked on a number of web and networking related products prior to creating Listia. He enjoys solving hard problems and now spends all day thinking of ways to improve Listia. He also secretly dreams of one day becoming a pro bass angler. In the meantime, he's trying to earn as many Listia credits as he can in the hopes that someone will list a fishing boat.

Before living and breathing Listia 24/7, James was working on solving hardware problems at Sun Microsystems and Aptina. With a strong desire to build and create he decided to put it to the test by solving his own problem of getting rid of stuff around his house. Most of his experience with online marketplaces comes from personal use dating back to 1994 with the sale of his Magic cards to someone across the country. At the office you can find James code monkeying, pixel pushing and unlocking every badge he can find on the web.

Gee-Hsien joined Listia in the Fall of 2010 as its first employee. He comes with a range of startup/software experience and skills, and loves winning items on Listia for his two nephews. He is an avid coffee drinker in the office, so if you're ever in Mountain View and want to grab an americano, please let him know. He will have Shane make some for you both

Kevin has worked part time with Listia since early 2010 and joined the team in Fall 2010. He received his BA in Environmental Studies from the University of Michigan, and enjoys playing first person shooters and strategy PC games.

Rosie joined Listia in May 2011 as the company's first female employee. She brings years of customer service and marketing experience, and is Listia's resident blogger (check us out at blog.listia.com). She enjoys reading celebrity gossip, using colorful post-its, and is a strong believer of putting milk before cereal.

Fresh out of college and ready to code, Shane joined Listia in July 2011. He graduated with a BS in Computer Science for the University of Alabama. Besides coding, he likes board games, exploring, random shenanigans, and cheering on the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturdays.

Ngan joined Listia in August of 2011. He enjoys the simple things in life like taking his dog, Waffles, for a walk, playing the guitar, and watching Family Guy late at night before bed. He is obsessed with making everything easy for the user. He is a Apple fanatic and loves getting the latest and greatest technology. He graduated from UC Davis with a BS in Computer Science.

CB joined Listia in October 2011. He graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a PhD in Computer Science. Before Listia, he had built many high-performance video, image and text processing systems for R&D labs and a startup. His personal iPhone/iPad projects have been featured by Apple, Gizmodo, and many iOS magazines. He enjoys skiing and snowboarding with his son every weekend in the winter.

Mabel and her dog Bento joined Listia in October of 2011. They both love hiking in the north bay, quirky documentary films and maguro sashimi. Mabel was born in South America and used to speak Spanish fluently. She now lives in San Francisco and speaks mostly in SMS. She's on a mission to give away every DVD in her house on Listia, except for her coveted Arrested Development box sets.

Not only does Amir enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures and foods, he also gets a kick out of helping Listia community members. Even though he's 6'3", Amir quickly realized basketball was not his call in life and instead decided to take it upon himself to perfect his baking skills. Perfection is still in progress.

Tae is a community guy who's spent the majority of his career helping grow online communities at companies like TiVo, AOL/Time Warner, and Gaia Interactive. When not growing communities, he's learning to grow over 20 different varieties of fruit trees in his backyard and turning into an obsessed urban farmer (rumor has it that he secretly wants to wear farmer overalls in private). He's also a patent holder of the email closing, TaeK^TM Care, so send your royalty checks made out to him c/o Listia.
