Leadership
Marianne Blaesing, Executive Editor
At the tender age of 12, Marianne put a frozen pork roast in
the oven, cooked it to a golden brown, and did not understand why it was still frozen
in the middle; it’s been uphill ever since. Marianne uses her more than three
decades of cooking experience and study to provide insightful commentary and suggestions
on all things revolving around home meal planning.
Marianne has studied at Madonna Univesity and Eastern Michigan University, has taken
numerous courses on cooking related subjects and dieting. She has been a humor writer
whose eponymous column appeared in Ann Arbor Family Press for many years. She was
also their restaurant reviewer in search of family friendly restaurants, which furthered
her belief that the best meals are those prepared in the home.
Russ Blaesing, President
Russ has worked
in the software industry for more than twenty-five years. He dreamed-up MealMixer
one day when he heard a friend tell him "I love to cook, I just can't stand
figuring out what to cook." Solving this problem is now just a small part of
what drives him as he has seen the health of our citizenry decline along with the
social/ethical values imparted over the family dinner table.
Before founding More Thyme,LLC (owner of MealMixer.com), Russ was Vice President
of Sales and Marketing for Menlo Innovations, an Ann Arbor software product development
company specializing in a unique and highly effective methodology for determining
software requirements called “high-tech anthropology”, as well as agile software
development methodologies. Prior to Menlo, Russ held the positions of: Director
of Automotive Business Development for Framework Technologies, President of MyMealPlan,
Inc., (the pre-cursor to More Thyme circa the dotcom-bubble), Major Account Executive
and Manager of Software Development at Open Networks Engineering (ONE)
Mr. Blaesing earned a Bachelor of Science degree (1985) from the University of Michigan,
where he majored in both Computer Science and Philosophy, and conducted independent
research on the efficiency of Artificial Intelligence algorithms.
