Zen and the Art of Bridge
- Using the moniker, Zen, for his Bridge Base Online (BBO) profile, Corey naturally began referring to his bridge business as Zen Bridge, which is most apropos, as he is known for his confident and fun, yet calming demeanor during card play.
- Joining forces with Lisa Dietrich (now Lisa Krantz), who holds a background in fine art, graphic design, and writing, Corey enjoys collaborating and continuously creating new material, which highlight his innovative and effective teaching style. Corey’s passion is to equip his clients with essential tools and techniques to help them fully understand and master key bridge concepts. His methods are so effective that Corey has had the pleasure of helping two of his clients progress from student to instructor.
- Most important of all, along with taking clients to the highest levels of bridge play, Corey ensures that his clients have fun, whether they are competing in tournaments or attending bridge lessons.
