About Me:
Work. Play. Work. Play. It's a tough choice... When not playing chess, I work in Media/Finance. I also teach chess to children and adult beginners.
Personally, I was fortunate to have a kind and very smart grandfather, may he rest in peace, who taught me chess when I was 7 years old. Although I stopped playing at some point for many years, I have always loved the game.
Good luck to us for continued learning, whether it be chess or life.
