About Me


Life

Hello everybody! My name is Tom, and I am a 29 year old man-child still trying to figure out how to adult. I've been married to my beautiful wife for four years and we just had our first child two weeks ago! Meet Melissa, Ethan, and myself.

Poker


I've been dealing poker full time at our local casino for the past 8 years now, while also pretending to be a professional player on the side. I love playing all forms of the game but my "bread and butter" is by far MTTs (Multi-table Tournaments)

Poker is how I was first introduced to cryptocurrency as I used to buy Bitcoin in order to play poker online here in the states.

Cryptocurrency


I believe that Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency is going to change the world as we know it. The community is full of some of the brightest minds in this world putting in an insane amount of work and money towards innovation they believe in. I've only been involved in this ever growing world of Crypto for a few months now, but I quickly learned that Bitcoin isn't some "bubble." However, I also learned the hard way some of the Dos and Donts of investing in this space. There is a plethora of great projects out there like NEO, VEN, and ICX, (just to shill a few of my favorites) but for every good one there are 10 bad ones and even straight up scams...

My friends and I actually got together and built a miner which is currently mining Vertcoin!! We call ourselves FOMO Miners!! I'm not going to lie, I was not the brains of this operation, I like to think of myself as the PR guy.

    Why Am I Here?


    I've been tossing around the idea of starting a blog/vlog for a long time now but I've always been the procrastinator. Maybe the birth of my son lit a fire underneath my ass, or maybe its the thought of getting paid for my content, or maybe this will be my first and only post (probably not)

    I am NOT a writer, nor am I an expert in parenthood, cryptocurrencies, or poker.... it hurt me a little to write poker.
    I definitely plan on blogging/vlogging about what its like fumbling my way through fatherhood. That'll be fun.

    Cryptocurrency will most likely be a popular topic as well as any poker tournaments I play in or any traveling I get to do.

    Oh btw here is a pic of me eating a banana by my pool and a pic from our wedding.
