My Story

I believe that going to a casino should be an adventure, not an expensive mistake.

 

For more than 50 years, I've enjoyed the excitement, entertainment, and occasional surprises that casinos have to offer. Along the way, I have learned something important: having a great time at a casino isn't about how much money you win. It's about knowing how to play, managing your money, being prepared, and enjoying the experience, win, lose, or draw.

 

My fascination with casinos began during a memorable trip to Las Vegas in my twenties. That experience inspired a lifelong interest in understanding casino games and learning how to make the most of every visit.

​

I grew up in Michigan, Minnesota, and Colorado. I graduated from the University of Colorado, served as a VISTA volunteer, and later settled in Maine, where I built his own home and founded Partners in Ending Hunger. I lead seminars for Landmark Education for 20 years.

 

Throughout my  life, I've loved games, challenges, and competition. My sister Peggy, an Olympic athlete, taught me the importance of preparation, discipline, and persistence.

 

I continue to enjoy casino adventures and sharing what I've learned with others.  I have been living several months a year near Las Vegas. 

 

My philosophy is simple: Life is meant to be enjoyed, and if you're going to play, learn how to play well and have a great time doing it!
