Bio
I spent the past year on the tournament poker trail, traveling
from Vegas to Foxwoods, Atlantic City to Reno and played the
main event of the WSOP for the first time in 2006, finishing
767th for $16,000 and change. I’m now in graduate school
at the University of Alabama, studying marketing.
Career
I worked as a newspaper reporter for six years, most of them
with The Tuscaloosa News and my articles have appeared in
such papers as The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle
and St. Louis Post Dispatch. I wrote for Party Poker during
the 2006 World Series of Poker, covering the event for them
on PokerBlog.com.
Interests and Hobbies
Poker, movies, video games, reading, writing, all the usual
stuff.
Writing
I’m trying to write a book on the travels of the past
year and I also have a blog at PokerNation.blogspot.com whenever
I update it. I continue to write strategy columns for Wise
Hand Poker and The New York Times Regional Newspaper Group.
