Some highlights from my chess career:
- Florida State Champion 2012 and 2013

Being a full time Business Professor, my time for chess is limited so I am using it wisely. At the this time, the only coaching I do is the Advanced Online Class and the monthly Master Workshop.
As a chess coach, I emphasize providing students with a sound foundation of knowledge and skills in chess, just as in my university role.
The relationship between my two careers also goes in the opposite direction. In my research at Florida Tech, I am currently working on several projects that draw on chess.

Played at Three Chess Olympics, twice on Board 1
#10 at the World Championship in Adelaide.
Best game of all times is my win against Mikhail Tal
