About Me:
I'm a father of two, been married 11 years and an avid sports fan. I like all kinds of music, and I believe a good sense of humor is an important aspect to anyone's personality. I enjoy spending time with my family and playing golf. I shoot in the 80's regularly. My best round is a 78.
I have been playing chess since April '07. I usually open with e4 and prefer to be a tactical/strategic player. My favorite players are Kasparov, Fischer, Capablanca, and Vishy.
"Chess is life in miniature; Chess is struggle, Chess is battles" Garry Kasparov--World Chess Champion 1985-2000 (undisputed & classical) highest rating 2851

The Two Wolves
A Cherokee elder was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me… it is a terrible fight between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, hatefulness, and lies.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, humbleness, kindness, friendship, generosity, faith, and truth.
This same fight is going on inside of you, and inside every other person, too.”
The children thought about it for a minute. Then one child asked his grandfather,
“Which wolf will win?”
The Cherokee elder replied…“The one you feed.”
