Delen got his name from a science fiction story his Dad read 30+ years ago. In that story, Delen was the hero.

Delen has a BA in Finance from Carnegie Mellon University and works in Richmond, Virginia for Capital One.

When in Lower Merion High School, he started the LMHS Chess Team, which in 2000 and 2001 year was 2nd at the PA Scholastic Championships in Bloomsburg.  Delen won the "Top 16-year-old" prize at the 2000 US Junior Chess Championship and was 7th in the 12th grade section of the 2001 National K-12 at Orlando.
