Hobbies:

My life is my hobby. Keeping my poker career, my company, and my family in order are all wonderful things to do. I love all 3 of them. On the side I love to hang out with my small group of buddies, SPORTS all year round, and Im an avid pc gamer. Or at least I am when i find the time. Halflife, C&C and FEAR franchises have taken a lot of my free time.


Odd Accomplishments :

Well, in May 1998 I was the world champion at Command & Conquer Red Alert.

Summers of 1998,1999 I traveled 3 months with a drama team accross the eastern US and midwest regions doing over 100 shows.

Sept. 2003 - won $50 on a freeroll. I promised my wife that I would never gamble any of our own money , and i never have.

Sept. 2005 - Saved up the money i had made from original $50 and created SouthpawToons Inc.

Sept. 2005 - let go from my job the day we brought our newborn home from the hospital. Decide to go full time poker and continue to invest in the business.

Nov 2006 - A week after my birthday, the $50 from a freeroll has reached $100,000. I did so with only 2 losing months during the process.


Feb. 2008 - after taking more than a year off of full time poker (to expand my company), I am diagnosed with cancer and give the reigns of my business over to my wife and go back to full time poker online. During my first chemo, I win my first  'online major' . others would follow before my 2nd and 3rd treatments.

December 2008 - Even with the economy hurting many of my competitors in my field, my company has shot up 90% sales from the previous year. I was able to work on expanding my business throughout all of 2008 even with the surgeries, the biopsys, hundreds of hours of chemo and 35 days of agressive radiation. If I die from this disease i die completely happy and satisfied that I leave my family with a way to live comfortably, and have no regrets about my 20s. I might be the happiest cancer patient to ever live.
