Hello fellow poker players. I'm a life-long poker player who was taught Stud, draw and hold em by my Black Sheep of the family Grand Mother back when I was around 10. Been playing on & off ever since. My grand mother was pure old school, which could be both bad and good. She would go out of her way to give someone a hand up in life, whether at a grocery store, or on the street. But she was also a woman with no filter. She would not hesitate to put someone in their place if she deemed it necessary. She swore like a sailor and loved like a saint . Through her I have become the same way. I'm not sure what I love doing best, random acts of kindness or cussing some doofus out in public for not acting like a decent human being. Through the years this has gotten me many hugs, blessings and friends and a broken and or bloody nose a few times. I spent my career as a firefighter for over 30 years helping people on usually one of the worst days of their lives. Couldn't have found a more perfect profession for me. I've always been a risk taker and served on the water/ice rescue team as well as the high angle rescue team. This is why I'm usually a bit too aggressive on the poker table. I grew up in the outdoors of the great state of Wisconsin and usually will be outside hunting , fishing or camping. I have visited over 30 national parks, forests and primitive/remote areas with my family. I'm a life long bowhunter and still use the old long bow my dad taught me how to shoot on a couple hunts every year. My favorite view ( that I have discovered so far) is looking out over Yellowstone park from the top of the Thunderer Mountain. I've raised 3 great kids and have a very understanding wife who shakes her head at me everyday for doing something out of the norm.

Enough about me...................deal some cards................ and pass the Whiskey....
