USCF Rating: 1525
I am a USCF Life Member, Certified USCF Chess Coach and full-time, professional, chess teacher with more than 30 years of experience. I was formerly a vice-president of the Maryland Chess Association where I was responsible for club development, and was the Chess Director and Co-Founder (with John Goon) of the Montgomery Chess & Go Assn. (MCGA) which promoted both chess and "go." I specialize in teaching chess to beginners and intermediate players regardless of age. I also coach adults who "used to play" and want to get back into it ( "It's never too late to have a happy childhood!" ). I provide challenging and fun instruction to individuals and groups in schools, libraries and other locations, by E-mail and on-line. I also conduct chess camps every summer. Currently I conduct scholastic chess clubs at a number of local schools, both public and private. I am also the principal developer and author of the Center's study materials and curriculum, much of which is available on my web site at no charge.
