About Me:
I like chess, logic, math, the Catholic faith, friends, family, eating, doing voices and teaching. I play as often as time will allow with classes and work. I'm just a little better than average, but I always am trying to learn more to improve. I don't think I will ever play chess competitively because I like playing just for good fun. I learned how to play chess at about 10 I'd guess, but I really did not get into the game until I was about 17. Now I can't pull myself away from it and I enjoy games on here regularly.
