Mike Sexton

Mike Sexton has been involved in the poker industry for more than 20 years. Before he became a professional player, Mike attended Ohio State University on a gymnastics scholarship, receiving his degree in Public Recreation. After graduating, he joined the Army in 1970 stationed with the 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg, NC.

When he left the army, he stayed in North Carolina, got married, and worked "real" jobs for 4 years (as a military sales rep and as a ballroom dance teacher). He began playing in home games during that time and in late 1977 decided to quit his job and tried to play poker for a living and so he did for over 20 years. He moved to Las Vegas in 1985.

Recently Mike gained celebrity status by co-hosting the World Poker Tour. He is a poker writer and serves as a host and consultant for a Online Poker cardroom.

Mike Sexton is one of the founders of the Tournament of Champions of Poker.
