I'm semi-retired programmer. I grew up in the US, but have lived in Thailand for about 10 years now. I play on LiChess, Chess24, and Chess.com. My user name is some variation of my name here, modified to fit the site's rules (With either an underscore or a period instead of a space).

I played competitively in my youth, then stopped playing until recently. The online world brought me back. I haven't played an OTB tournament in about 40 years.

I play mostly blitz and bullet, but suffer the inconsistency of my internet connection, especially on chess.com.
