After graduating from UC Berkeley, Ely spent five years playing poker full time. But that wasn't risky enough, so he decided to try the world of publishing. The gag book How to Speak Internet: The Definitive Guide to Slang, Acronyms, & Other Social-Media Isms” is his first book. In his free time Ely enjoys leading an active lifestyle, and watching Cubs and Bulls games. Ely lives with his dog, Rizzo, and three pet jellyfish he hasn't named yet because he can't tell them apart.
