Eric Payne
Executive Director/ CEO
My name is Eric Payne! I am the Executive director and CEO of Know Payne Know Gain Chess LLC/ Non-Forprofit. I also am a Senior Level Instructor over at the St. Louis Chess Club in CWE. I have veen teaching chess for 7 years. I started off as a 1st Grade teacher, taught chess during class every morning with them. Once I realized the impact chess had on my students, I prayed and asked God, Lord, if I could spend the rest of my life teaching chess to children......the rest has been history. I also run Growing Payne's Gardening and Lawn Care LLC where I both beautify people's properties
