Jason Kirk

Jason Kirk is a writer from Nashville, Tennessee.

In 2005 he quit his job and covered the full duration of the first WSOP Circuit ever held in Tunica, Miss. - for his own poker blog. That led to a successful tournament reporting gig for a major poker magazine, which in turn led to radio and video production gigs at the WSOP in 2006 and 2007. This January he joined the team at PokerListings.com, where he writes about poker and politics and interviews some of the biggest names in the game.

In his three years in the industry, Jason has served as a reporter and photographer at most of the major poker tournaments in North America outside the WSOP, including the WPT Championship, NBC National Heads-Up Championship, Festa al Lago, LA Poker Classic, World Poker Finals, and Borgata Poker Open.

Jason holds a B.A. in History from Austin Peay State University. He lives with his wife of four years and two dogs.
