About Me

Jan: I'm one of the founders of Goddesschess, which went online May 6, 1999. I earned an under-graduate degree in history and economics going to college part-time nights, weekends and summer school while working full-time, and went on to earn a post-graduate degree (J.D.)

For the second half of my life, I'm focusing on "doable" things to help local chess initiatives, starting in my own home town.
