Brock Wilson could have done anything after graduating college, but he didn’t choose poker right away. Despite winning at the game from the start, Wilson’s inevitable life as a high-stakes poker player was briefly delayed by an equally promising career in finance.
Prior to his arrival on the high roller scene, Wilson was an academic all-star at Fordham University in New York City, spending all four of his years on the Dean’s List and graduating with a decorated degree in mathematics and finance. After college he worked for two years as an analyst in the banking industry, building up his bankroll and his skillset before finally taking the leap into poker full time.
