Hello all,

I have been lurking on the board for around a month, and decided to finally introduce myself.

My name is Nate and I hail from North Carolina where I run my own IT/ web company. I got interested in playing cards after reading a memoir of my Great Grandfather. I  became interested in his time at Lennen & Mitchell  especially the design work of the 1950s.   I decided to design some playing cards for family and friends ..  I ignorantly  thought I would be able to  read an article or two about poker, design the cards, and print them up. To my surprise I found how little I knew about the art of cards. The more I dug the more questions I had and the more interested I became in cardistry.. now i'm hooked.
