Date of Birth: 01.26.69 Birthplace: Topeka, KS Now Resides: Buena Park, CA Marital Status: Divorced Children: 13 year old son - Jordan Started playing poker: At about age 7 watchin the older neighbourhood boys play and they'd let me sit in till I won too often and said, "Scam kid!" My mom thought I was stealing because I always had more than my allowance! Favorite poker game:Seven Card Stud Ambition: Get paid for doing what I love- playing Poker

Hobbies: Poker, Cut throat spades, Keno, College and Professional Football and Basketball -watching and betting except on my favorite teams. Never bet with your heart, you will end up broke and unable to enjoy the game!

Favorite Movie: Tough question I love old movies like The Philadelphia Story (I wanted to be sophisticated and classy like Kathryn Hepburn). Then again, I also enjoy a hearty laugh with more modern films like Raising Arizona.

Favorite Music: Blues mostly. But I like most anything with a beat. It depends on my mood.

Favorite Place in the world: Where ever I am at the time. Where ever you go, there you are. So you better enjoy it!

Favorite Celebrity: Johnny Depp he can be funny, straight, and strange all in the same movie and still be believable. Did I mention sexy too?

Major Poker Accomplishments:
None of any significance. Just local stuff where they wonder, "Who was that chick? She blew in and took our money."

I enjoy friendly play at this point, but I am ready to burst on the seen and make my mark. I'd be happy to be in the money in any tournament since I know it's not an easy thing. But of course, to win would be magnificent. I have no illusions that I can just walk in and take down the likes of todays money men, but I could surely make em squirm and have to think twice a few times. I am very psychological in my approach to poker. I have read umpteen books and players strategies. But I know it all comes down to the cards your dealt, the money to back it up, and the guts to bet it.

Most respected poker players: Annie Duke for sure, she is a mom first and foremost. She is so good at poker, she could be even bigger! I want to have her attitude! Great if I do, but it won't run or ruin my life. There is life beyond poker (did I say that? lol). Not to take away from guys like Amarillo Slim and Doyle Brunson, and Mr. Binion who pathed the way.

If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?
Getting to know my father before he died and his side of the family (and playing some poker with them!). You can learn a lot about a person's character by how they play poker.

If you could change anything in the poker world, what would it be?
Hmmm... maybe a few attitudes towards other players. I've seen a lot of poor sports. It's a game. You should shake your opponents hand when you take him down; and when he gets the best of you.
