Updated Oct. 2013. I've been participating on the GCA site since early 2009.
Professionally: retired (since 2011) private practice specialty tax and federal administrative lawyer. Age 71.
Where from: I'm originally from West Virginia, but my wife (who's from a Chicago suburb) and I have lived in Charlotte (North Carolina, U.S.A.) since 1969 following my graduation from Duke Law School (undergrad, Oberlin College in Ohio). Two children, grown, live in New Canaan, CT, and Anchorage, AK.
I've played golf earnestly, recreationally, for about 21 years and been a member of Carolina Golf Club (Ross, 1929, with 2008 renovation by Kris Spence) here in Charlotte since 1995. Carolina GC is also my personal favorite course.
Other retirement hobby - leading tours as a volunteer docent at an art museum.
Prior to golf I was very active in road running/racing circles, local, state and national, my main "hobby" for more than 20 years, but at around age 50 I decided golf would be a better "old age" sport, and so it has turned out (though I still run for fitness), in many, many ways. (Of course, golf's an "any age" sport, but I got in late.)
Current (Oct. 2013) HC Index: 21 point something.
I'm generally interested in all things golf, and architecture in particular. I've learned a tremendous amount from GCA site participation, will continue to do so, and, I hope, contribute a little bit, too.
