♟️ Meet Brad — Our October Special Guest!

Brad is quite possibly one of the most interesting people you'll play chess against all year.

He's a lifelong chess player and world language teacher with Frederick County Public Schools, where he leads a thriving middle school chess club — and he's working to bring chess to even more schools across the area. This makes him a natural fit for The Pawn Project’s mission of using chess to help young people grow both on and off the board.

And here's a few more interesting things that make Brad, Brad:

🧪 Former chemist

🐍 Former reptile showman

🔧 Former plumber

🏀 Still chasing his hoop dreams on the basketball court

Come meet Brad at the coaching table this October, working alongside our youth leadership team to help players sharpen their skills. Curious, creative, and always up for something new — that's the energy Brad's bringing with him!
