I am a 19-year-old Expert player with a USCF rating of 2070.  I have improved from an 1100 to nearly 2100 in only 7 years.

Chess is not all I do, I also like to live an active lifestyle.  I play soccer and golf seriously and casually play ping pong, basketball, and tennis.  I also enjoy running.

I am studying economics, math, and statistics in college (Chess and economics have many similarities).

I am one of the top coaches on chess.com.  See "My Coach Profile"(http://www.chess.com/coach/josh-matti) for what separates me from other coaches.
