Brothers, sisters? I'm the oldest of three boys. I have two amazing younger brothers. I was with one of them yesterday in Miami. They both live in Austin, although one of them spends a lot of time in Asia. Right on. What did you grow up doing? What were your hobbies? A lot of sports, a lot of video games. What kind of sports? I was a baseball player. I was a swimmer.

Got the gold medal in breaststroke for the East Bay Swim League. Nice, nice. My family's very competitive. We're very competitive, whether it's sports, whether it's games. Each of my brothers and I were state chess champions. My dad was the top chess coach. We thought it was because we were smart. After we left my elementary school, he kept coaching.

They kept winning the state every year for 20 years. No kidding. My dad was super competitive. You still play chess? For fun, yeah. You know, when you're playing at that age, when we were playing seriously, competitively, it wasn't about being smart. It was about my dad training us, and we had to do it 30 hours a week if we wanted to stay on top.

So it was a very serious commitment from the age of like 6 to 12 or so.

I think I am. Don't ask my brother, Jeff. Are you teaching your kids chess? We're starting to. It's actually really funny. So my oldest kids are daughters. I have five kids. So my daughters, the older ones, are four, six, and seven and a half. And they do little tactics with me and stuff. But I came in the other day when I was trying to teach them.

And they said, Daddy, look, the pieces aren't fighting anymore. They're getting married. I'm working on it.

Like every Nintendo game. We played baseball a lot. I was a pitcher. We played a lot of video games. Parents think it's bad for kids, but I thought it was pretty fun.
