Today we are adding contributor number 13, James Hsu:
James Hsu is a Realtor and Real Estate Investor working in suburban Seattle. From math to computer science to medicine to web development, James may be the whole Realtor 2.0 package personified.
These capsule biographies are cruel in their brevity, so here is what James said in his own behalf:
I’m a Realtor in the greater Seattle area (Mill Creek to be specific). Trained in the art of math and computer science (and a few years in pre-med), I spent a number of years in web development and then jumped into the telecom world doing product development for a major carrier. When I realized my life had become the script out of Office Space, I turned what I had been doing as a hobby (real estate investing) into my new career path. Outside of real estate, my wife and I have a two-year old son and I’m learning about commercial properties. I’ve found that the numbers game that I love is much more complicated and fun in the commercial world. However, it’s the people in residential sales that makes me smile at the end of a 12-hr work day. When I have time, my other interests are playing sports and video games.
James has his own weblog, Northwest Real Estate Update, which is how we discovered him. James puts everything through a rigorous analysis, but his writing is always thoughtful, readable and fun. We’re honored to have him on board.

Is that too ambiguous…?

Just so I’m clear, it is fine if I reprint Bloodhound articles in their entirety on my new site, The Basset Hound, and say I wrote them?
Welcome, James.
