I'm a 54 year #ProChef in Manhattan NY.
I'm married 15 years now w 4 children. I live in Brooklyn NY. I've been a Chef all my life. I started washing dishes at 12-13 years old. I play FoE cuz I had to quit playing Poker on the internet. I played Poker for close to 6 years, religiously. It caused me alot of stress. Which my wife was growing increasingly opposed to. So I had to find some other game to play. I used to play a Wargame called Advanced Squad Leader, which is a extremely difficult game to explain. The rule book alone, was near 1000 pages, double columns, double sided pages. I enjoyed that game for more than 12-15 years; but I moved away from my principal playing partner. That's when I started with the next gaming "chapter" as I gravitated towards MMOG. Specifically, Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. That lasted 9 years. I had a full blown, high end gaming rig~all custom built. When my character died somewhere around 2-3 years into his "life" and I couldnt believe that 4-5 years had just disappeared so I found the poker on my cell phone, to pass the time. Fast forward to present day, and I'm close to 3 years of daily FoE play.
I love cats. Like dogs. I spend time with my 3 boys, the youngest being 5 next week. My wife threw my computer out after a partition of the 2 disk drives blue screened me. She had no idea that rig cost close to $8K-$9K. Her world isnt wrapped up the same, as ours is.
I travel to South America, as we own some houses there, and I love going to our Beach House right on the Pacific Ocean. Especially cuz I grew up on Long Island, NY. I also play Chess, but my 2 older boys cant beat me (yet!) so theres only online chess left. I'm a huge NFL/MLB fan and enjoy that alot.
Forge On!
