Andy Glazer
We are very pleased to announce that Andy Glazer, noted Poker columnist, has joined PokerSchool Online.

Andrew N.S. ("Andy") Glazer is the weekly gambling columnist for the Detroit Free Press, the author of Casino Gambling the Smart Way, and is the online guide for www.poker.casino.com, a poker information site for which he writes many World Series of Poker tournament reports. Andy is generally considered to be the finest tournament reporter of his generation, and has written on a regular basis for both Card Player and Poker Digest magazines.

Andy is also a world class poker player, with many small tournament wins, two finishes in the money at the Tournament of Champions, and (as he puts it) "an annoying number of final table finishes in big tournaments." Andy is annoyed because once he gets to the final table, he wants to win.

Andy has also written for almost every gambling magazine and website of consequence, and was called "a poker scholar" in the May 17, 1999 issue of Newsweek Magazine.

These accomplishments aside, what makes PokerSchool Online so excited about adding Andy to the school is that he is not merely an outstanding player and writer, but also a proven teacher, having taught at Emory Law School, the Georgia State University School of Business Administration, the National Center for Paralegal Training, and the National Center for Educational Testing, where he taught courses in subjects like SAT, LSAT, GMAT, and GRE preparation. "One of my earliest teachers told me that if you couldn't explain a concept, you didn't understand it," Andy says, "and so I always tried to learn that way. I think I became a good teacher as a result."

Andy has also practiced law, been the COO of a very successful division of a now public company, been a professional backgammon player, a chef, and a masseur. "I like learning new skills," Andy says. "So I've never been afraid to take on new kinds of challenges. I think that interest in learning has helped me rise fairly quickly in the professional poker ranks."

Andy got his undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan and his law degree at Emory University. He claims to be working diligently on a postgraduate degree in the "School of Hard Knocks."
