He returned to Bridge play in 2004 after a 20 year absence, later moving to Tucson, Arizona with his first wife where he coached newer players and directed local games. He's written for Bridge World & The ACBL Bulletin, and authored Bridge columns for the Arizona Star and Tucson's Oro Valley Voice.
