About Me
With a Master's degree in Statistics from Virginia Tech and more than 40 years' experience as a civil servant for the U.S. Government, James Haskell's work included assignments that sent him across the country. Often, he would find himself in a city with a casino, where, in his off hours, he would play video poker, teaching himself the strategies and nuances of the games. Now retired, James resides in Fort Collins, Colorado with his wife.
Here is a collection of photos from James' school years through various government jobs and retirements.
