Speaking / Events

I speak professionally about my experiences as both a player and manager of the MIT Blackjack Team for universities, companies and organizations such as NYU, Liberty Mutual, and the Wharton Private Equity Network.  While audiences are excited to hear the true story of  how  the MIT Blackjack Team beat Vegas for millions, I also talk about how the determinants of our team’s success parallel the key drivers of any business.  In addition to learning how to start and run a business, I also gained insight into the importance of rational thinking and how we can consciously improve our decision making process in everyday life.

The True Story of the MIT Blackjack Team:  You’ve read the book, Bringing Down the House, and seen the movie, 21.  Now get  a first-hand account of how a group of college students became the most feared card counting team in history.

Business Insight: Gain surprising insight into how the success of the MIT Blackjack Team mirrors success in the business world.  Instrumental to our team’s achievements were fundamental business principles such as recruiting and developing top talent,  teamwork and collaboration, strategic focus and risk management.

Live Card Counting Demontration:  A huge crowd pleaser.  Through a live demonstration, learn how to count cards using the same system the MIT Blackjack Team used to “Bring Down The House”.
