About Me

I am an entrepreneur or as Jeezy would say, "a Go Getta". It took me a long time, but I finally did what I kept talking about doing. We launched March 1st, but look out for our "re-launch" in July after we return from our big convention in Las Vegas.

On another note, I pride myself on the friendships I have created over the years. I was just making a point the other day about how diverse our group of friends are. From all walks of life, but the thing that keeps us close is that we are all smartasses. I wouldn't trade my close friends for ANYTHING.

I am also an ex and future professional poker player. Which is a lot harder to do than any job I have ever had. Poker has taken over the void that was created when I gave up baseball. One day you will see me playing on the World Series of Poker Circuit as well as the WPT Circuit. You can bet on that.
