About Me:

I'm a 40 something widower who is newly remarried. I recently moved to Columbus, Ohio and work as a programmer at a University. My wife and I have a combined 7 pets, five dogs and three cats. In addition to chess my hobbies include cycling, books, movies and sports. I discovered chess at around the age of ten. Since then I've played off and on (mostly off) for the past 30 plus years. I've always been an average player, but I've recently started taking the game more seriously and hope to begin improving.
