Welcome to my website where you can obtain details of my latest activities in the chess world.
I am an International Arbiter (awarded 2010) and USCF National Tournament Director (awarded 2012) who has directed at numerous major events across the US, including the 2009 US Championship, the 2007, 2009 and 2010 US Women’s Championships, 2010 US Junior Closed Championship and various National Scholastic events. I have directed at over 200 events over the past 10 years and will be the Chief Arbiter at the 2012 US and US Women’s Championships to be held in St. Louis in May.
As well as being an arbiter, I am also known for my chess website work and providing live broadcasts and onsite coverage at major events such as the World Open, Chicago Open and North American Open.
