I am a padawan with only the force as my master. I learn, I teach, I enjoy. I learned how peices moved as a child, but only took chess serious around 2001 at 25 years old. Originally from Cleveland, Oh (Go Browns)!, I played chess with a diverse group at the edgewater beach (Lake Erie). I have studied very little over a decade, just like going back and forth in the gym in and out of shape. Now again I have returned "born again" and this is my first online experience. I love my family--wife, 3 boys, 1 girl--lots of sports with them year round. I love to read and study history, and health related info. Favorite color blue, movie "Cape Fear" Rob De'nero. Want more, ask me. May the Force be with you!
