Starting Six

Time to meet your starting six for Philadelphia.  Pictures included are as ferocious as could be found.

Dan Wolkowitz - Polymath, Harvard graduate and current teacher, Dan and Marius have shot onto the scene this year some good results in recent NABC+ events, including a 30th place finish in the Werner Open Pairs in New Orleans.

Marius Agica - Dan's partner.  Marius just turned 21, which hopefully won't negatively affect his Philadelphia performance too much.  Marius is studying computer science at Pace University.

Roger Lee - Roger was my partner the last time I played this event (World Junior Championships, Ortiz-Patiño Trophy).  Roger recently graduated from Cal Tech and has enjoyed many high-place finishes in recent NABC+ events. These include, 8th in the 2010 Werner Open Pairs, 16th in the 2010 Fast Open Pairs, 

Jeremy Fournier - A junior-team staple since 2004, Jeremy is a Tennessee alum.  Currently employed by Bob Hamman, he had no problem finding time off to compete in a bridge event.  A big clubber at heart, he and Roger will be playing 2/1 in Philly and hopefully lead our team into the KOs.  A true Renaissance Man!

Jason Chiu - Avid wine enthusiast and current partner of yours truly, Jason is a superb card player from Wyoming.  Currently employed by Deloitte Consulting, Jason graduated from MIT at the ripe old age of 19 with degrees in engineering and mathematics.  "ch00bacca" has enjoyed many successes playing on teams with Kenny Gee and employs an old-fashioned -- to say the least -- 2/1 style that lends itself to very few misunderstandings.  

Kevin Fay - Your humble blogger.  If you're reading this, you probably already know me.  Possibly not the best bridge player around, but driven by an unquenchable desire to excel at all endeavors and win.  With such prestigious almae maters as this team boasts, KFay is proud to have attended the most famous and successful, the University of Michigan.
