I have high speed internet. I am good at chess. I am a security guard. I also eat meat. I saw my first solar eclipse when I was 8.
I am highly educated. I don't play chess. I work for a newspaper. I eat meat. I like solar eclipses. My only friend is a dog.
What do you do for the newspaper? I write sports editorials for local teams, mostly high school but some amateur sports as well. Do you play chess competitively? That is awesome I always wanted to be a writer myself, somehow I ended up being a security guard at one of our local banks. I use to, I was the national champion by the age of 22. Now I play for fun.  Oh wow! That is a great accomplishment, why did you decide to stop playing competitively?  I became really interested in Eclipses, I started to spend my time on learning more about them, what location of the globe will give me the best outlook, etc. I devoted more time in researching eclipses, I do love solar eclipses more than any other type of eclipses, I have to say, you? I actually have not spent much time learning about Eclipses, but would like to in the future. Did you study them in school? No, I did not, The first time I seen a solar eclipse I was 8 years old, I was shocked and in awe of what could happen with the solar system, since then Ive always had my eclipse curiosity. I guess I like solar eclipses more than the average person, how old were you when you seen your first solar eclipse? I think I was around 10 years old. I really liked astronomy in school and wish I would have studied it a bit more once I got in to college. I hope I can make more time to learn about it in the future. Yeah, thats one of the main reason I stopped playing chess competitively, I made time to learn more about eclipses. what did you study in college ? journalism? Yes, I studied journalism. I really got in to writing when I joined my high school's newspaper team and decided I wanted to make it my career. Did you know early on that you wanted to be a security guard? That's awesome! No I did not know I wanted to be a guard, until I retired from being a police officer, I wanted to do something with my spare time, Thankfully I had the experience and skills to be a security guard, I live in a pretty safe area, no worries on my end, as of yet, of course.  That is great that you found something to fill in your spare time and something that you already had the experience for.  Do you have any other hobbies that fill in your spare time?
