Status: Married, 2 kids
Occupation: Software product manager
Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Dublin)
Favorites: Teams = 49ers and baseball Giants; Sport = Golf (so I can get more frustrated than watching the 49ers and Giants). But really, I spend most of my sports time coaching my kids' teams and I like that more than the rest.
Random Fact: Lost track of how many Grateful Dead shows I went to somewhere around 200. Since Jerry died, I've probably been to less than a dozen concerts total.
DC member I wish I could meet: Too hard to narrow down to just one....Tommy Angelo, Joe Tall, DJ Sensei, Entity.

Marc,

I hope to get up to the Bay Area to see Tommy and will drop in on DJSensei for sure. Sometime this spring, I guess I'll have to look you up as that will be 3-4 on your list!

This is the coolest thread to read, I get excited to see it bumped with new entries!

This is my first post here as a member of DC! I researched all the coaching sites and for some reason the interface of this site just made me want to sign up. I look forward to learning a lot from these videos and hopefully I'll post sometimes on the forum.

A little of my poker history: I started playing 3 years ago doing bonuses and messing around. I read a lot of 2+2 forums and made decent money. A little bit after the whole Neteller fiasco I quit online poker. I've played strictly 6max NL since I find limit and full ring pretty damn boring. At the time I quit I was mainly playing 100NL with a few sessions of 200NL. Now that I came back I've decided to deposit a couple hundred bucks and start over at 25NL. Hopefully with the things I learn I'll make my way back up in no time!
