Well, here's the raw material for me, anyway.

I'm 43, married, and live in the United States (Los Angeles, California).
My Ph.D is in engineering, and my work is satellite attitude control.
I have not written any computer chess programs, per se, nor any programs
for PCs/Macs. I have programmed in C, PL/I, Fortran, BASIC and Forth,
and was one of the four-man UCLA computer programming team that placed
second in a national ACM computer programming contest. I played about
1300 OTB USCF tournament games, and maintained a master rating for the
last 300 games or so, but have been inactive since 1983.

My main computer chess interest is improving the state of Macintosh
computer chess by my volunteer support. I beta test, write review
articles, create and maintain Web sites, and locating resources for Mac
computer chess programmers. I maintain several Macintosh chess related
web sites - all can be reached through my Macintosh Chess Software Index:
