I am a musician and a teacher, and I have been for 30 years give or take. I sing, play piano, guitar, ukulele, and any other instrument I can get my hands on. I love exploring music from all over the world. I am also a published composer. You can learn more about me and my music by visiting www.MontoyaMusic.com.

I have been a chess enthusiast for many years and I collect unique chess sets. I have been an advisor of my high school's chess club and I love to study the game.

I especially love meeting friends who have passions in chess and music like me. I am not a great player, but I follow the motto that "you can learn from every chess game that you play." So I play. . .a lot. : )
