Peter Amsel

Peter Amsel has been a fan of gambling ever since his parents abdicated their child-rearing responsibilities by routinely plunking him in front of a television playing The Joker’s Wild. A native of Toronto, Peter grew up a major fan of the Maple Leafs, which is probably why he was able to endure so many years of complete and utter failure at launching a writing career before ultimately finding his niche with CalvinAyre.com. Peter is highly sarcastic, deeply cynical and entirely too enamored with the sound of his own voice.
