Joey Manner is the owner of The Only Game In Town and has been on and off the Pro tour. He recently took a hiatus from Magic to focus on the shop but with the help of some very talented players he managed to top 8 Pro Tour Kaladesh with a deck no one saw coming (Blue White flash). Joey lives in New Jersey.

Joey loves gaming and Magic just clicked.
Joey identified himself as a control player and really struggled with combat math. He forced himself to play creature-based decks.
Joey was playing Magic Mon-Fri and on Sat and Sunday he was going to PTQS and competing at top events.
Losing in top 4 of first PTQ. (In the day when only first place got the invite.)

I've learned how to make friends.
Not mulliganing aggressively enough.
Play more magic. Don't show up unprepared.
Deck building skills - specifically mana bases.
