Brief Biographical Sketch:

I grew up playing chess. I joined the team at my school in 5th grade and had a blast playing with friends and competing in tournaments. I won several tournaments and even played in the final game of the state championship in my last year with the team.

Since then, I've played for fun with friends and family, even going so far as to start a chess club in high school.

There is much to teach about chess, but the main thing I want to convey is my love for the game. My goal is for my students to come away from my class with a desire to play more chess.
