Update: New Job

Well, I guess I need to fill everyone in on my new job. Some may have heard through the grapevine, but not the horses' mouth.

I left my corporate job in March of 2006. I was living in Peoria, IL and I really was not happy there. I just felt out of place away from family, friends, and the life I am accustom to. To put icing on the cake, I also didn't feel like I was being challenged to my liking. For anyone who knows me, I thrive on fierce competition and like to be put to the test. I was slowly falling into the daily rut of going and coming from a 9-5. I just wasn't feeling it. I literally woke up one morning and decided to quit. Karyn flipped as you all could have expected not because I just quit, but I decided to play poker for a living. Here I am with a wife and kids and decide to quit my job. I actually left and went to the Chicago area and lived out of the casino hotel for a week or so. Karyn decided that she married me for a reason and came up there and said "She was going to stick by my side and support me." We now live in a house in Downers Grove, IL.

Since March I have won 3 small/medium size tournaments. I have been at 15-20 final tables. I also recently placed 5th in the Heartland Poker Tour main event, which will be on the Comcast Sports Network in Feb 07. I work approx 4 days/week and there is nothing like being Self-Employed! lol....

Feel free to check out the Heartland pictures in the links on the left hand column and comment/reply.
