“I’ve worked alongside Lance for two decades, often competing with him for the best story subjects. His dedication to getting to a story’s true guts is unmatched anywhere in the business. You only need to read a few sentences to know how much Lance cares about his craft. In modern media, he is one of few writers who still believe a journalist can be a storyteller and a storyteller can be a journalist.” – Brad Willis, Editor in Chief poker.org
Lance is a fantastic journalist who is able to capture emotion, conflict and excitement in a way that is unique to the poker industry. His reporting background allows him to see, process and react to news differently and with the right tone for the right moments. He’s a one-of-one writer in this space and is capable of handling any assignment. – Andrew Feldman, ESPN.com
Lance is unique in that he’s worked in the product, operator, staking, content marketing, and media sectors of the industry. Very few people, if any, have that breadth of experience. The credibility he brings to those diverse fields led his peers to vote him one of the 20 most influential people in the industry multiple times. – Steve Preiss, Poker Industry Executive
Lance has dedicated his professional career to the game of poker and has one of the deepest understandings of the game, its history, and its players of anyone in the industry. In my opinion, he’s the best in poker when it comes to long-form, deep-dive articles that real poker players genuinely enjoy reading. He’s a talented writer and a true poker historian, but what really separates him is his credibility and journalistic integrity, which is increasingly rare in today’s media environment. Lance has always cared about telling meaningful stories the right way, and poker is better because of the work he’s done over the years.” – Brian Balsbaugh, Founder & CEO Poker Royalty
