I am a teacher and a sports official. I officiate high school football and baseball. I umpired baseball at the professional level for a few years.
Chess has always been a love of mine. I don't have the time to dedicate to the craft as I wish I did. I don't have time to play in tournaments over the board. The only way I can play, and play often is through Red Hot Pawn. I'm not as good as I wish I was, but I will play and try to get better the best I can.
