I currently live in Berkeley, California. I prefer playing games that take less than a week to finish (even better a few hours!). My Skype screenname is Brad.Ewing.GFN. I find Skype helpful in notifying opponents when to refresh their board or to stay in touch with good people. My educational background is a B.S. in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology; a B.S. in Economics; and a MBA w/ Finance & Business Analytics concentration.
