Pic is of my two sons in New Hampshire. They're both far better-looking than me.

I do lots of stuff; unfortunately I'm best at stuff with no practical use whatsoever.

Have read a lot, have professional work experience in teaching, direct care of the mentally handicapped, social work, experimental lab work, and computer programming. Oh, and movie theater ushering. . . which was probably my favorite job before the programming. . .

Work in Financial Services. I now serve as a business analyst for Legal and Compliance Technology.

Have a JD.

Play chess, prefer Sicilian (as black or white) and Ruy Lopez. Highest rating (when I practiced a lot) was around 1800 or so. Probably currently closer to 1400-1500.
