Occupation: Realtor (Buyer's Broker)

About Me:
I am a transplant from NYC to a population 12,000 town in Southeastern Vermont. I am a professional writer, but I support myself and my family through my other profession: real estate brokerage. At times I have been involved in local political issues, and I have participated in voluntary activities, including serving in the leadership of my local board of Realtors®. When an issue becomes controversial, I also try to think of how best to keep the arguments focused on policy, while affirming the common humanity of everyone regardless of which side they take.

My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
I have not played for years, except an occasional game. I am able to consistently defeat drunks who brag about how good they are, but any serious player inevitably beats me and then patronizingly tells me how well I played. If I were to study the openings so as not to get myself into a weakened position, unnecessarily, I would probably do a lot better. My wife just bought me a nice, classical, wooden set for my 62nd birthday, and I want to start learning to play better.
