My name, rendered in Chinese, is 古樂朋.

I am married to Erika Christakis (lucky for me), and we have four children: Sebastian, Lysander, Lena, and Orien.

My parents are Alexander Christakis and Eleni (Lenna) Saranti, and I grew up in Washington DC. But, as a boy, I spent my summers in my grandfather’s summer house, in the village of Porto Rafti in Greece.
