I lived in Europe for 6 years during my student days, so I enjoy playing people from other countries. I have a great family with two kids here in suburban northern New Jersey. My field is in medical imaging but outside interests include art, music, horses and tennis (not necessarily in that order) - and of course, chess. I usually make a move a day but forgive me if I occasionally miss a day.
