Occupation: Student/on and off poker player. Twice I've started from low stakes (the first time I started with a free $100 from Party at age 17) and worked my way up to 10/20 and 25/50 NL. Both times I hit a super rough patch, stopped enjoying poker, and quit for like a year only to start again when I decided having money was a good thing. I'm now on my 3rd round of this cycle, let's hope I can pull it off again haha.

Random Fact: One time I burned 5,000 calories in workout mode playing dance dance revolution. I went into options and set the calories to "regulation" making sure that it was likely 5,000 calories I burned. I played the tsugaru song over 200 times. I think I danced a total of 340 songs or so. It took about 8-10 hours and I took a 15 minute break to get some sickness out before continuing. I did it just so that I could use it as a random fact in the future. Oh and btw I enjoy gratuitous amounts of pain.

My wife is Japanese. We live in Irvine, CA. She is very good friends with Ramage Jackson's wife. I was over their house for his last fight. Maybe I'll introduce you all someday!

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been such a huge Jackson fanboy since back when he first started fighting in Pride. I remember in one fight a few years back where he actually put his cell phone number out there and told his fans to call him. WTF!? Obv. we called immediately, and got "Users mailbox is full", lol. Huge MMA buff here. Really hated to hear about what happened a few days after his loss to Forest. He better get back on the horse! Wish him the best!

P.S. Joe, you'd be my biggest hero if we ever ran into each other and I got the intro!
