After the divorce, Thom took the biz (Morphosis) and Mike took the house (SCI-Arc). Before that, Thom was one of the first instructor at SCI-Arc and Michael was one of the first student. Both served as a director of SCI-Arc at some point and helped shape the school to it's current fruition.
I am very proud to be a member of this prestigious family, SCI-Arc, Class of 2009.

Congratulation professor Rotondi.
Hi Dimitri, even though Thom was and is influential member of the SCI Arc family he never was a director of the school.
The man in the background is Robert Alexander, faculty at Cal Poly Pomona who was the master of the ceremonies.
There is a little background of them going on their seperate ways here.

Thanks Orhan for the correction.
I would re-phrase, "Thom took the biz, Michael took the house".
