first post Hi all,
I'm new to fencing.net, even tho I've been fencing for about 15 years now. My primary weapon is epee, although I've been dabbling in foil recently. I started fencing in high school in NJ and the continued in college at Brown. After graduation, I fenced in Boston for a few years before taking a job as a fencing coach.
Most recently I've been fencing in MN while I'm in grad school.
Not much really to say other than "hello". Thanks!

Welcome! I too got my start fencing epee on a New Jersey High School team, sadly. Took a lot of work to correct what it left me with. 
Which school did you fence for, back in the day? "If I were ever to challenge you to a duel, your best bet would be battle axes in a very dark basement." Misquoted from The Prisoner

Lawrenceville I fenced for the Lawrenceville School in NJ, graduating in 1994.
Believe me, I have my share of bad habits from that time as well.

Believe it! Y'know Brad, I was surprised as hell when you started fencing sabre.
I even won the Div II/Div III qualifiers in MN. Granted only 5 people showed up, but I'll take it! 
RIT, was Lawless still coaching at VHS when you were there?

My, my, a familiar face! Hi, Ben! How've you been? You're in Minnesota now? How's the fencing there?

Hi Dirk.
Yes, I'm in MN. The fencing is fine for what I am after at this point. I'm no longer training seriously so the more relaxed atmosphere of this division works pretty well for me.
As I said in my intro, I'm in graduate school at the U of M in geology. I'm basically fencing when my studies allow me to, which prevents me from going great guns. Also, my income as a grad students means that I can't travel very far for competitions. Even though I've been here for more than a year, I have yet to go to a competition outside of the Twin Cities. (although I'll be changing that in 2 weeks at the Midwest Sectional).

Yeah, he's actually still there. Really nice man, but I should bill him for all the lessons I had to get to fix what he taught me. "If I were ever to challenge you to a duel, your best bet would be battle axes in a very dark basement." Misquoted from The Prisoner

Hey, welcome to the forums, I dont really think that I know you but I do someone who graduated from Lawrenceville a couple years back who you might know, he's probably 3or 4 years younger than you though.
