David Epperson, known at the tables as "TophatGrinder," hails from Bellingham, Washington, and has been immersed in the world of poker for 36 years. He first got into the game at the age of 21, playing in a card room at the back of the Grove Tavern, where players dealt the cards and the dealer chose the game. David's most notable poker achievement came in a Triple Triple Draw event at the Orleans, where he won nearly $5,000. He attributes part of his success to lessons from Alex Livingston on pokercoaching.com.
Outside of poker, David serves as a rural development coordinator for his NGO, E3 Worldwide, in Malawi, Africa, and also works as a farmer, describing himself as semi-retired. Recently, he has found a home in the mixed game community. Epperson traveled all the way from Northern Washington for this event. Thank for coming all this way David!
