I grew up in the small town of Mckinleyville, Ca where everyone knows everyone. I spent the majority of my childhood involved in sports and tried to stay out of trouble.
After graduating I followed my father's foosteps and became a slave in the timber industry. Literally workin 60-70 hours a week only to have uncle sam take almost 1/2! Didnt take long for me to hit the highway here.
Next I found myself dealing the game called Blackjack for Cher-Ae-Heights Casino and soon after moved to Blue Lake Casino. This is where I met the girl that changed my life.
A few years later we took a chance and started up a new life in Arizona. Can you say HOT DAMN! Try an average temperature of 88 degrees. When I 1st came out here I decided to call it the quits on the casino gig and try somethin new. I took up playin poker professionally online and have made a nice income ever since.
A year and half after moving to Arizona, my fiancee Aimee gave birth to my daughter Makena. 1/2 Vietnamese 1/2 Portguese. Shes a natural poser(take a look at her pic). Beautiful!
Alright so now about my profession. Playing poker for a living has given me freedom to enjoy time with my family and has also allowed me to travel to many places. I havnt had the oppurtunity to get any TV time yet but hopefully that will all change soon.
My goals for 2007/2008 are:
1. Win a WPT/WSOP major event.
2. Pay off my current mortgage($400,000)
3. Purchase 2-5 apartment complex's/houses for invesments
4. Earn an additional $500,000 to set aside for retirement/kids funds
5. Donate at least $100,000 to charities

Its a great program that allows you to play at your own leisure and get paid for the time you play. This is how I started playing online. The nice thing is, even if your a losing player you can still win with the feature of being paid as you play.
And for all of you who are thinkin about playing poker as a primary source of income I have 3 peices of advice: Self Discipline,Bankroll management,Patience/Determination
Thats me in a nutshell, I could go on more but who likes to read these days? I dont.......peace.....GRE
