About Me:
I am the guitarist for the legendary punk rock band No Alternative. I also play under the name, Blind Orange Johnny, doing old school Blues. Music has been very good to me. I am also a professional chess teacher, teaching classes in six public schools as well as privately. I currently have around 150 students. I also have a book currently being edited. Chapters can be found at:

Personality wise I am like Dr. Gregory House (I swear they modeled his character after me). I'm a know it all who writes for a number of publications. I love my wife, dog and cat.
I am in the recording studio most of my work week working on a new No Alternative CD and I need a way to stimulate my brain. This is where chess comes in. I play for at least three hours a day in addition to my teaching schedule. I love the game and all of it's complexities. There is no other game that comes close to chess. If I had the time I would play even more. I am an aggressive player. I live for chaos on the board!.
