I come from a gaming family, where games served as a social center on which friendship and communication thrived. Gambling was not a part of these rituals, only becoming a part of my life when I started playing cards for a living, traveling around the world as I did. I played poker professionally from 2000-2004, removing myself from full-time play to focus on my writing.
I began writing about games in 1997, writing for the Magic
Dojo, then a number of others before taking a job as staff
writer of www.sideboard.com. I co-founded www.wisehandpoker.com
in May of 2005 and spend far too much time working to further
it now. My work has appeared in Bluff Magazine and on espn.com,
and I’m the official blogger of the World Poker Tour.
Poker, baseball, travel, architecture, film, popular culture and writing.
