Bio
Some time in between the birth of his websites, however,
Bill got this crazy idea. He quit the high tech world and
played poker full time for about a year. It was in this year
that he realized that (with his bankroll) poker was a real
job... a 50 hour a week job that didn't pay a heck of a lot
more than working at a decent shoe store. But he was happy
and poker was his life for a while. Only one thing could lure
him away from the grind... Real Estate. He founded HomeSplit.Com
for those who desire affordable housing in the bay area, but
the concept is just starting to really catch on with the hypnotized
natives.
It was also Real Estate, or the lack of it, that prompted
him to move to Belfast! As this is being written, Bill is
preparing to move to Northern Ireland and become the Lord
of the Dance. Or something. He'll still be playing poker.
He'll still be writing about poker. He may even start working
for one of the big online poker sites. But he'll also be enjoying
the view, watching the foamy water wash off the craggy rocks,
on the astounding northeastern Irish coastline.
Career
After growing up and realizing that writers really do starve,
Bill moved to the Silicon Valley and became a high tech guru,
working with companies like DEC, AMD, and other three letter
names. But in his heart, he still wanted to write. So he created
a company called LinkDeath.Com and, being a high tech god,
he put it on the earth-wide interweb!
LinkDeath.Com was a success, as Bill was hired to write for
non-profits, senators, and even psychics! Reassured that he
didn't totally suck, Bill launched his first educational poker
web site soon after! It was called PartyPokerTutor.Com and
he loved it like a son. A few years later, the sister website,
JoinTitanPoker.Com, was born, and he loved it like a daughter
