I am a native of San Diego County, California, USA, where I currently reside with my sweetheart and our son. I attended Orange Glen High School in Escondido, California and took an exit test in the early 1980's. I attended both Palomar Community College and San Diego State University without reaching degree status. I emphasized philosophy and psychology. I have worked for several years with Fran Cannon of Cannon Training and Development, now Cannon Business Institute, in the areas of personal development, especially seminar work, and small business training. I am an experienced public speaker, including six years as a member of Toastmasters International. In the early 1990's I worked for casinos as a proposition poker player, poker host and tournament promoter. In effect, I was paid to play poker long before the current growth in popularity of poker worldwide. I am also a highly experienced business networker. I volunteer with/tutor/blog on behalf of high school students to help them be the first in their families to earn a college degree. I enjoy a wide variety of music, singing, walking, reading, public speaking, networking, poker, value stock investing, labrador retrievers, blogging, personal development, living close to the beach, family and faith.
