Residence: Tucson AZ (District 17)
ACBL Positions: Advisory Council (Chair), Masterpoint Committee (Chair), Laws Commission
Bridge Experience: I read Goren’s Bridge Complete when I was nine but didn’t start playing until about twenty years later. I took up the game seriously in 1998; I also soon became a part-time club tournament director and club manager. After taking more than a decade off for work I returned to the game in 2015. Currently a ruby life master. No great highlights yet but I have represented my district in the Grand National Teams in flights C, B, and A.
Volunteer Service: I joined my unit and then district boards in 2017; soon thereafter I was elected 2nd alternate from District 21. When I moved to Tucson I became 2nd, then 1st, alternate from District 17. Elected Board of Governors (now Advisory Council) Chair in 2020. Also a member of the Board of the NABF.
Career/professional Activities: I’ve held more jobs than I can count including management consultant, director of training and education, census taker, field operations supervisor, tax preparer, wildlife surveyor, poker player, and waiter. Now in addition to teaching bridge lessons I run my own tutoring business focused on graduate admission exams (LSAT, MCAT, GMAT, and GRE).
Education: Math and economics at University of Michigan; law at UC Berkeley.
Hobbies and Interests: Birding, travel (I’ve been to every US state, every Canadian province, and 70 countries), and far too much bridge.
Family: One son; single.
