About Me:

I was introduced to chess by my father at the young age of 6.  I've never played frequently, but always wanted to study and improve my game.

I am a 'beginner' with high aspirations.  The best way to learn is to play.  I believe strongly in sportsmanship & promoting the game of chess.

***************************************************
I am a chess instructor for beginners!  If you are new to the game, contact me for lessons.  The best instructor is someone a few levels ahead of you in skill who understands the game & has a passion for learning.  My goal for all of my students is to train them to surpass my own skills as quickly as possible!
***************************************************

I am in several outstanding chess groups here on the site.  Please give them a visit!

***************************************************
If you live in Ames or Des Moines, I would love to play in person.  Please contact me!
