I’m Dylan; I love chess and making things. I am an ambitious and creative nerd who loves to learn. I’ve been lucky to be involved in chess in many capacities personally and professionally. My current personal project is making a book of chess portraits capturing the moment of a blunder. Life is short, so I pursue the things that interest, enrich and fulfill me and I hope the work I do helps others learn, grow, and be happy.
