Formerly active USCF member and tournament director with a peak rating of 2011 (pre-rating floors) before falling back to 1878 and retiring from tournament play about 20 years ago now. Looking to get back into the game in a casual way, perhaps playing a few OTB USCF tournaments at some point soon. Software developer in the Bay Area of California and a family man with an interest in travel, chess, backpacking, hiking, fly fishing, cycling, hang gliding, golf, books and reading, technology and enjoying these and other things with my wife and kids. Hoping to connect with people of similar playing strength for casual or rated games and matches.
