As an actor and martial artist, I have been given a perspective on creativity and problem solving. This carries through everything I do, especially chess! It’s a perfect blend of these skills and it’s been a passion of mine since I could walk. What I strive to accomplish with my students is more than the primary goals of having fun and learning chess moves. Of course I value this highly, and I care about personal development and growth as a human being first and foremost. (For my students, of course, and also for myself in the process! :)) I adore being a goofball, so all of the silliness is welcome!
