About Joe Beevers

Name	Joe Beevers
Current Residence	London (Hendon), UK
Birth Place	London, UK

Joe Beevers has the distinction of being the only member of poker's celebrated Hendon Mob to actually hail from Hendon, England.

But his residence is far from being his most notable professional accomplishment. The former banker and blackjack-card-counter-turned-poker pro also has a solid cash game and tournament history, not to mention a partnership in an internationally recognized Web site.

Beevers was born in Marylebone, London, on Dec. 9, 1967. His father, a banker, began instilling math abilities befitting a poker player in his son when Beevers was just 7 years old.

The boy learned probability and permutation skills that would also come in handy during his career as part of a blackjack card-counting team with his dad. Their exploits saw them touring the world together but, eventually, banned from a collective 23 casinos.

Though he worked the gambling hall floors in his late teens, Beevers was still a good student and eventually returned to school to follow in his father's professional footsteps. He earned an honors degree in finance and accounting and eventually was hired at Hendon's Citibank branch.
