Tell us what's happened to you since high school
(Feel free to tell us THE WHOLE STORY):

The whole story! Wow... This space isn't big enough! A few years ago, I
retired as a professional golfer and took up professional poker! Much more
lucrative and... the best part... It doesn't hurt!

I am retired from Law Enforcement, I performed for almost 10 years as the
lead singer of a National Show Band: Big Boomer & The Wanderers. (I still do
a single act from time to time)

I have been blessed with the good fortune to have never had a "job"... I
have gone from adventure to adventure, and it's been fantastic.

Poker is by far the most challenging..... If you don't believe me... Go to
the World Series of Poker, buy into a big tournament, sit down at the
table... and look across at Doyle Brunson... You will have your work cut out
for you. 
 

Married? Kids?

I have been married to my lovely bride and best friend "Katie" for 23 years.
I pray for 23 more...
 

Career? Job?

No job.... Just Poker
 

Where do you live?

Tunica, Mississippi... ( a few miles south of Memphis, TN ) The 3rd largest
gambling location in the country. But I travel to tournaments all the time
and I am quite often in Las Vegas.
