About Me

columbo (at eifco dot org)
I have a solid background in game strategy and have been an advid strategy boardgame player for decades. I even have a published board game (see links). I am also, like many other wannbes, in the Information Technology business and have been since I was 15. When it comes to poker (or anything else) I read the books, I study the game, and I expect to get better everytime I play. I have an affinity for tiki culture and my basement is a real tiki lounge where I host poker games (see links for pictures). I also did stand-up and improv comedy and wrote for humor zines, but that's the distant past. Contact me : columbo AT eifco dot org
