John Feeney Bio and Books

Author Biography - John Feeney

John Feeney spent his youth in Phoenix, Arizona. After attending the University of Colorado, he moved to San Diego to pursue graduate work in clinical psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology. His interest in poker was sparked while observing a hold'em game during a weekend trip to Las Vegas. True to his background, he took an academic approach to the game, studying the poker literature, consulting with David Sklansky, and getting the requisite playing experience. By the time he received his Ph.D., poker was beginning to compete with psychology for his attention. He soon began to log more hours in the cardrooms of Southern California than in his field of psychology, until ultimately poker became his primary focus.

Today John is living in Iowa with his family where he is devoting his time to non-poker activities. However, he did spend a number of years playing in mid-limit and higher games in San Diego, Los Angeles, and elsewhere.
