Rather than offer a biography, I would point you to my LinkedIn profile for my activities and projects.

I spend a great deal of time thinking about natural healing since I do this for a living and it seems to be a major life interest. I do read and research other things and I try to have some balance in my life with exercise, the occasional vacation, etc.

The above picture is something people may recognize, but although I fell into chess in high school, I rarely play these days except to spend time solving chess problems at GameKnot.
