About the Author
Dr. Ford retired from a career in commercializing emerging technologies and moved to Las Vegas, in his words: "to be close to my money." With a Ph.D. in Thermodynamics and degrees in Engineering and Materials Science, he taught Computer Programming for Engineers and worked in research and development throughout the United States. During his professional career, he developed an avid interest in the mathematics of gambling. Applying his considerable skills to the subject of casino gambling made him a respected player in short order.

When his health deteriorated dramatically, he was admitted to the UCLA Medical Center, where he underwent a double lung transplant. While he was recuperating, he wrote How to Gamble at the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken. Although he continues to have a strong interest in casino gambling, out of respect for his new lease on life, he now tries to limit his exposure to crowds and smoky environments.
