About Me:

I have always loved chess (learned to play at age 7), but never really got serious till a few years ago.   Was a member of WorldChessNetwork when they were still on the web.  ICC bought them out and I moved over to ICC and WCL.  I found Chess.com just searching the web for chess sites. 

Right now I am currently taking lessons with IM Tom O'Donnell.   He's been very helpful in pointing out and correcting weaknesses in my game.   I really enjoy the individual attention you receive having a Coach.   Books are great, but having someone see your games, strengths and weaknesses, and helping you develop in all those areas is huge IMO.
