His grandpa introduced him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From then on on, he was addicted to poker and wished to discover every little thing he could about the game.

He became known at the 2000 WSOP where he achieved two final tables and won his 1st World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, 500 Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the last table he defeated many of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.
