About Me
My name is Brandon Berndt, and am the Poker Room Manager/ Affiliate Program Director for ChanPoker.com. I am 23 years of age, and recently got married to my beautiful wife Kristine Berndt. Kristine is now the Championship Program Manager for the Pacific 10 Conference. I was born and raised in Sacramento, California but now live in Walnut Creek, California. I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with a degree in Business Management in May 2006.
I started in the poker industry as a player back in 2003 while in college. While playing I was introduced to poker affiliating, and the rest is a blur.
Brief Resume:
- Director of Operations for Poker Affiliate World
- Affiliate Program Director for StinkyFishPoker
- Business Development Manager for HomeGain.com
- Affiliate Program Director for ChanPoker.com
- Poker Room Manager for ChanPoker.com
I have also done consulting for multiple different Poker Rooms and Affiliate Programs.
I am a pretty avid golfer. I have held a scratch handicap for over 6 years now, and have won a couple tournaments in my day. Before stepping into the poker industry I was on my way to become a PGA Certified Teaching Professional. It was my dream for many years, and I spent a lot of my time studying the swing and preparing myself. I ultimately changed my path after falling in love with Affiliating. I will be mixing some golf posts in there as well so if you are interested make sure you take a look.
