American by birth, Irish by blood.

BACKGROUND: M.S. in Engineering, M.S. in Math, B.S. in Math, and a G.E.D. lol (they threw me out of high school 3 times for dumb stuff :). I have been married and divorced twice, have 2 sons, 23 and 30.

My last job was as an Engineer for the US Army Missile Command. I worked there for about 20 years. When the US invaded Iraq, I quit. I could not in all good conscience support that completely unnecessary, ill-advised, trumped up, ridiculous military action. I have not worked since and I'm getting pretty dang broke. Still no word from Publisher's Clearing House either.

CHESS: I've been playing chess off and on since I was 9 years old. I didn't really study chess all that much until a few years ago, now that i have all this time on my hands. I don't work, so gotta do something to keep the mind active.
