I have worked independently as a chess teacher for over 14 years. I play in National tournaments and I have an online chess profile. I have worked with two of the largest chess instruction companies in the U.S., Silver Knights and Chess Wizards. My primary focus is with students who play in tournaments but I also work well with people who just want to learn the game. As a self taught player I understand and emphasize with adult players who have time constraints. I have a BS degree in Marketing from Georgetown University I have a MS degree in Information Technology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. When I am not teaching chess I work as a HR Consultant.
