Bernard Tuhl, Ph.D., Ph.D., D.D.
earned his B.S.
at the
Netherlands Trottengast Maritime College, majoring in Advanced
Deportment and Table Settings. Commissioned as a second mate, his
first command was of the loading and stowing crew for the Indonesian
container ship, Tuan Jimmy, where he distinguished himself as
the only officer whose sailors always wore waistcoats and bore
sommelier cups. Inexplicably stranded in Guam City while on his
maiden voyage, Barnie made the most of the situation by entering the
Masters program in Eugenics and Applied Phrenology at the University
of Guam. Upon receiving his M.A., he sold his concubines and
adopted “children” in order to obtain passage on a freighter bound
for California. Arriving in Los Angeles, he enrolled in the
Doctoral Studies program at the University of Hollywood. There, he
earned two Ph.D.’s (Quantitative Methods and Plate Tectonics) and a
D.D. (Universal) in a remarkably short period of time. The book
based on his dissertations, “St. Louis – God’s Wrath or the New
Malibu” was a best seller in certain circles, and prompted his move
to the Midwest. He joined
Orthogonal
Designs,
Inc.
in 1999, where he acts as general manager while specializing in
difficult issue identification and problem resolution for a
consortium of direct marketers.
Ann R. Nienaber
has completed education in the fields of both psychology and
design. She began her postgraduate career at the University of
Cincinnati College of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, as a
research associate for Dr. William Whitehead. Under grants from
Hoffman-LaRoche, they published several articles in periodicals such
as The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine. As a
designer, she spent several years as a Project Manager, then
advanced to the position of Vice President of Design before forming
her own company in 1988. Some of her clients have included the
Midland Company, Neilson Company, the Kroger Company and the City of
Cincinnati Department of Neighborhood Services. With her varied
experience in these industries, Ann brings a unique perspective as a
Project Manager to the consulting and reporting aspects of the
marketing research process.
Nathan Buldain
works in ODI’s
website programming and maintenance section. He has programmed
over 30 questionnaires using SSI Web products since they were first
introduced. Currently completing his Bachelor's degree at Ohio
State University in Business and Marketing, he has supplemented his
studies by taking courses in Java scripting,
CGI,
Perl, and other high level programming languages. As a resource for
more difficult programming assignments, Nate's skills are
invaluable. |
