How long I have worked with PAS
Since January 2010!

History in the industry
I have zero poker industry experience. However, I just received my first free bankroll through YourPokerCash and am looking forward to seeing what all the hoopla is about. After reading a thread in the 2+2 forums about a guy who was able to build a $5 bankroll into $1000+ in 7 days, I'm planning to blog about my experiences as a small fish in the shark-infested waters of the online poker seas.

Short Bio
I just moved to Minnesota in September 2009 from WHO DAT Nation (Louisiana). I have a degree in (American) history, and many years of experience messing around on the internet. I also served in the US Air Force as a Russian linguist during Desert Storm.

My relationship with PAS
I break the system so you don't have to.

The future
In addition to helping to ensure that the (new) PAS Publisher system works like it's supposed to, I'll be writing new documentation to go along with it. (Suggestions welcome!)

[GonzoPAS]

Hello everyone,

Some people call me Gonzo, but my real name is Craig and I have been working at PAS since the beginning of May as a Senior Content Specialist and thought it was about time I introduced myself.

History in the industry

I started playing online poker in 2001, and in 2004 I joined BonusWhores.com as the Content Director (Gonzo787 from the forums if you happen to be familiar with the site). The site was among the first affiliates to cater to poker rewards, and for much of its history had a great reputation for having comprehensive online poker information centered around bonuses. I remained there until early 2010.

Short Bio

I was born in South Dakota, where I have spent the majority of my life and currently live. I have also spent five years each in Minneapolis and England. I have two young kids and a lovely wife. Besides poker, I enjoy movies, music, and watching baseball, football and soccer. I also like to golf, fish, hike and bike when I can find the time.

My relationship with PAS

I worked with Pokeraddict in 2006 at BonusWhores, and we have since become good friends. My knowledge about PAS was somewhat limited prior to joining. Since coming on board, I have become even more impressed with the quality of staff and product that PAS provides.

The future

My main goal at PAS is to update and enhance content, along with using my industry experience to help out where needed. Please let me know if you have comments or suggestions about ways that we can improve the content at PAS or any other suggestions you have.

Regards,
Craig

We are really excited to have Gonzo on board!

Hello everyone. I'm studying for the ACA at the moment but am interested in gambling/poker industry + in general as a part time thing. Am looking forward to getting to grips with PAS CMS system (driving me nuts atm) and writing some decent content for my site.

[Player Support]

Hello! I believe I am the newest employee at PAS. My name is Chris, and I will be working as player support for rakeback accounts.


History in the industry

I probably started playing 5 card draw and 7 card stud when I was maybe 6 yrs old with my relatives for pennies. By age 11 I was hustling my 8 yr old sister on vacations out of her candy money. We put together many late night card games in college, and my love for poker continued on in early 2004 (the year of Moneymaker) when I discovered online poker. I have played on and off for 6+ years, and have basically "played for a living" the past 3 years since I moved up to the beautiful coast of Maine. I've logged roughly 2.5M hands of SSNL, and 1M hands of Limit online in my poker career, so I have probably come across nearly every rakeback, bonus, sign up, and poker room issue that your players will come across.

Short Bio

I was born in North Jersey (Soprano-land, if you are familiar with the show), graduated from Villanova in 2000 with a Finance degree, then worked as a field underwriter for a couple different insurance companies for roughly 7 years before moving to Maine with my fiance (now my wife) a little over 3 years ago.

My relationship with PAS

I googled "poker bonuses" way back in May of 2004, and BonusWhores popped up. I met Pokeraddict and Gonzo way back then, and we have remained in touch via a few different online poker forums since then. I have been with PAS for about 1 month now. After meeting everyone at PAS HQ(except for Gonzo, strangely enough), I must say I am very enthused and excited to be a part of such a solid company, with so many intelligent, creative people. I love poker, I'm fascinated by the industry, and being able to be a part of it with a solid group makes it all the better.

The future

My goal is to assist your players to the utmost of my abilities, with a quick, clear, and courteous response. With my experiences as a player, I expect to be able to do just that.

I remember what it was like to be an online poker player/gambler 4 years ago and be completely ignored by CS after multiple emails, or wait 3+ weeks for responses even if you were a VIP with the top poker rooms. I assure you, this will never happen with me here.

Hi everyone,

My name is Alex and I’ve recently joined PAS as Regional Manager for the UK. I’ve written an introduction post in the PAS blog here

Here’s a short summary:

History in the industry

I’ve been working as an affiliate manager for 3 years now. I’ve worked at Betfair and PartnerLogic.

Short Bio

I was born in South London (near Wimbledon... any tennis fans?) and lived there until I went to university. I graduated from The University of Edinburgh in 2007 with a degree in Maths. Since then, I’ve been working in poker and I’m back in London again!

My relationship with PAS

I met Herb about a year ago at the affiliate conference in Budapest. We discussed a deal forInterPoker and PAS and we’ve been working together ever since. I’m mega excited to work for PAS and it'll be great to get to know all my new colleagues too!

The future

I’m looking forward to launching the UK websites and substantially growing the UK business. With my experience as an affiliate manager and my knowledge of the industry, I'm sure I will make a substantial contribution to the PAS team.

Cheers,
Alex
