About Me:

Started playing chess in May 08'.  My then 7-year-old son had joined his school chess club but wasn't getting much help.  I knew how the pieces moved, but didn't even know how to castle.  I bought The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess - it was a great first book!  Now, my son's interest has waned but I am hooked!

I'm into physical fitness and playing tennis.  I am a big college sports fan - Florida Gators.  I was born in Mass and also a big fan of Boston teams - Red Sox, Celtics, etc.

I am a christian and have been blessed with an awesome family!

That's about it...
