Occupation: College Professor/Dean

USCF Rating: 1415

About Me:
I am Associate Dean of the College at Illinois College, a school of about 1,000 students in Illinois College. Before becoming Dean this summer I was a math professor for 13 years, also at Illinois College. My wife is also a math professor at Illinois College. We have triplets, two girls and a boy, who just turned seven.

My Chess Style / Favorite Openings:
I find a lot of similarities between the chess thought process and the mathematical thought process, particularly in looking for patterns. I am the advisor of the Illinois College Chess Club and active in the Jacksonville Area Chess Club. Our two clubs recently put on a USCF tournament, the Illinois College Open. I play in about three or four USCF tournaments a year. I'd like to play more often, but with my job and my family that's not possible.
