Personal Information
I love many, many things. My wife and daughter are the most important parts of my life; but life is enjoyed best when I am experiencing the things I love with them. This would include travel, skiing, music, and food -- especially stone crab claws!
If I had to name one thing where I'm better off left alone, it's Texas hold'em poker. Strange thing is, I enjoy directing a poker tournament just about as much as playing in one.
