Born and raised in a small town, I’m all about breaking barriers, taking on new challenges and pushing life to the limits. I take this philosophy seriously as a fitness competitor and professional fitness model. I’ve appeared in fitness magazines nation wide and take my health seriously. Needless to say, if I’m not at the tables, I’m most likely at the gym. I’m also a graduate of the Vermillion Fire Fighting Academy and a certified Safety Officer, so the flipside to it all is that I know when to play it safe - and you may want to remember that if we’re ever at the same table!

 

My passion for cards began with Red Dog, which my cousin taught me on a road-trip when I was ten. They start them young in my family! Most special occasions revolve around the poker table rather than the dinner table – a fact that constantly disappoints my mother. Red Dog is still by far my favorite game, but I also love Texas Hold’em and I’m developing a love for Pai Gow, which is really a wickedly challenging game. Like I said, though, I’m all about taking on new challenges!
