About Me:
I recently did time in the penitentiary and learned how precious freedom truly is. I strive to live my life to the fullest, putting things in perspective and doing activities that bring joy to my heart, such as cooking for my family, sitting at the kitchen table eating and talking over our day, taking long walks just admiring God's handiwork, or helping somebody else achieve something in their life. Its my season of peace right now and i need a little more quiet and time to recharge. Because at the end of the day its really not about me...its about family. I'm happy with the simple things in life and don't require lots of material goods anymore. I appreciate friends and family. Honesty and integrity are words that I try my best to live by.

My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
I became very passionate about chess while doing time. Although I've yet to achieve the status of play that I'd like, playing brings calm and peace to me. I feel that chess brings out the true character of a person, whether they are patient, a soldier never giving up, a graceful loser or a humble winner. Chess challenges the inner person not just the opponent when you think there is no way out of critical situation. I play late at night and early in the morning. I just love chess,
