CHESS

I am an International Chess Grandmaster. I won the U.S. Open in 2012, played in three Olympiads, and qualified for a World Cup in 2011. Between 2007 and 2012, I had the great privilege of working with Vassily Ivanchuk, former World's No. 2, World Blitz Champion (2007) and World Rapid Champion (2016). I assisted him as a second in various tournaments.

From 2012-2017, I received a scholarship to attend Webster University and played for the Webster University chess team (No. 1 ranked in the U.S.) coached by Grandmaster Susan Polgar, achieving 5 consecutive collegiate national championships.

Since 2017 I have been inactive from chess tournaments. Currently, I enjoy coaching, giving exhibitions, and playing blitz games online.
