About Me
Introduction to My Journey
My path to becoming a blackjack millionaire couldn't have been more unconventional. When people think of blackjack players, they imagine geniuses from movies like 21, graduating from prestigious schools like MIT or Harvard. But that’s far from my story. I didn’t even finish college. I moved from Texas to LA to chase a dream of becoming a Hollywood actor. It was during an audition for a blackjack-themed movie that I discovered the world of blackjack, and little did I know, it would change my life forever.
Transition to Professional Blackjack
The audition opened the doorway to my career in blackjack. I was cast as a nerdy character who dominated blackjack tables with card counting, even getting banned (or '86ed') from casinos across the U.S. Though the movie wasn’t released due to unfortunate circumstances, I applied the skills I learned to real life. Over time, I developed and invented advanced strategies that allowed me to consistently beat the house edge. What started as a Hollywood opportunity became a full-time career and my passion.
The Challenges of Blackjack Life
Playing blackjack professionally is thrilling but also lonely. Traveling from one casino to another, often in places like Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, isn’t exactly glamorous. While I love to travel, spending so much time away from friends and family takes a toll. After years of living like a daredevil, drinking on the job, and constantly moving, I started feeling the effects. It was time to make a change.
Embracing a New Chapter
During the COVID lockdowns, casinos were shut down, giving me time to rethink my priorities. Now, with a wonderful girlfriend and plans to start a family, I’ve decided to focus on teaching blackjack instead of playing full-time. Coaching allows me to stay connected to the game I love while enjoying a more balanced life. It’s rewarding to share my knowledge and see others succeed using the strategies I’ve perfected over the years.
Looking Ahead
Teaching blackjack means I can stay closer to home, visit places I truly enjoy like San Francisco, and spend more time with loved ones. It’s a chance to pass on the knowledge I’ve accumulated through years of experience. By helping others master the game, I’m creating a legacy that goes beyond just winning at the tables.
I wish I can just stay home or go to places that I actually want to visit such as San Fran. When your playing blackjack full time you will not be going to places like San Fran sometimes it’s places like Oklahoma, South Dakota, Wisconsin etc places no one wants to book for vacation. This is what you do to truly make some serious money and play full time. This is why I’m wanting to coach more so I can go less often to these places just to make money.
