 | Born in 1967, and residing in Lake
Tahoe, Nevada, he started playing poker when he was 7 years old in his
parents home game. His favorite game is no-limit hold'em. His most
respected poker players are Tony Ma, Isaac Chen, Carl McKelvey, and Bobby
Hoff -- all of whom he thinks of as tremendous players and class acts.
Educators -- Mike Caro and David Sklansky. Writers -- Mike Caro, Andy
Glazer, and Nolan Dalla. If he could change anything in the poker world it
would be to change the public's perception that poker players are all just
a bunch of gamblers.
Among his major
poker accomplishments he lists playing pot-limit hold'em with huge blinds
one night at Commerce against Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth, Erik Seidel,
Allen Cunningham, Bobby Hoff, and Layne Flack, AND not getting broke
(well, for a few hours) and making it to the final table in 2001 at the
$5,000 No-Limit Championship at the World Poker Finals at
Foxwoods.
