Born, Raised and still living in Baltimore, MD. The best gaming town there is.
I have a wife and two children, that I try to play games with as much as possible, however most of my game playing time is logged with Bobby Tweaks and his Wednesday night crew.
More on them here:

www.fortressat.com). Obviously I like Ameritrash titles, however I will play almost anything and really what I like is the meta game. 4x games tend to be my favorite, currently
Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition - Shattered Empire is the gold standard. I also enjoy 2 player light wargames, Combat Commander and the Columbia block games are good examples. I tend to avoid passive aggressive games built around mastering a scoring mechanic and then executing the most efficient plan to exploit that mechanic. (Read most eurogames) I will play the better euro's like
Power Grid and
Tigris & Euphrates but tend to find the average eurogame boring.
If you want to know more about what I actually play check out my stats on the friendless site:
http://friendless.servegame.org/stats/result_malloc.htmlI faithfully attend the WBC every year, mostly hanging out in the open gaming room. If you are planning on attending drop me a geekmail and we can get together and play some games.
When I am not gaming I use my excessive training as a musician in my job as a computer network engineer. Most of the world finds this boring and so that is enough on that topic.
