Born January 23, 1986 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. My family moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina when I was two years old which is where I grew up and graduated high school. I then went on to earn an Industrial Engineering degree from the University of Michigan graduating in three and a half years in December 2007. It was during my off time in the summers that I discovered poker and began to build a bankroll. In 2008 I moved to Seattle with my longtime girlfriend and played poker professionally for a number of years mostly online. In 2014 I won my first WSOP gold bracelet in event #26 $1,500 NL hold’em. I still play poker part time but most of my time nowadays is spent managing a local ATM Business I started in 2009. I live with my wife and dog, Opie in a condo in downtown Seattle.
