My vision for Crowned Pawns is to create a starting point for inner-city youth to begin their journey in chess. I provide a space to learn from a coach who is not just knowledgeable, but patient and energetic. Chess is more than a game; it's a tool for transformation. By learning its lessons, recognizing its patterns, and ultimately learning to command your side of the board, you gain skills that can change your life.

This business wasn’t started to build wealth. In fact, my lessons are priced based on what clients can afford, because access is everything.

Now, a quick truth: I am not a Chess Master… as of yet (= . I have my daily struggles with the game and will never claim to be the best. But what I do possess is a deep understanding of chess strategy and a proven ability to help players improve.

The ultimate goal? To introduce a powerful new way of thinking, all while mastering the greatest game ever created.
