My Journey
As an only child, I didn't have brothers and sisters to play board games with. Instead, my father and I would play Rummy, BlackJack, 5-Card Draw, and 7-Card Stud. We never used chips - it was just win or loose.
As an adult, I enjoy playing poker with my friends and family, especially No Limit Hold'em which has taken the world by storm and become the game of the decade.
In the Summer of 2008, I played my first tournament. In the Fall of 2008, I decided that I would begin my journey in competitive tournament poker. This page is dedicated to my efforts in rising through the ranks of the tournament circuit.
