I've been playing since 4th Grade and have been in a multitude of tournaments. I've participated in Hawai'i State tournies, including State and Scholastic Championships. My crowning achievement came in 1998, when I placed #1 in my rating class and the rating class above me in the 1998 US Open. I left with the most awards from that tourny, which included a first place check for my rating class and several "upset" prizes.
I have since retired, instead choosing to teach & play recreational
