Personal Life
Ron "The Croc" Berry was born in San Antonio, Texas and raised abroad where he graduated with an extensive knowledge in computer science. After settling down in Southern California he started his own computer consulting firm. Married with three grown children, Ron enjoys several great hobbies such as photography, music and golfing.

Poker
When Ron Berry started showing his interest in poker, he knew he had some homework to do. Starting out with local, non-formal games, he quickly adapted to reading his opponents and applying his math skills to get down to the odds of things. Many times he seemed to “sneak up” on them with unexpected hole cards or trapping with sizable bets. It wasn’t long before he was being compared to one of the most fearless creatures in the wild, a crocodile. By patiently out witting most of his constituents, quietly springing up when least expected and taking such an iron grip hold on his opponent until they were annihilated - the name fit perfectly. However, so as not be confused with the Aussie pro Billy Arygos who has a similar handle, Ron has made it clear he’s an All American Western Croc making his own way in the poker world. But once he got a taste of competing live for cash and awards through Texas Hold’em, Omaha - and many other games - he had little time for anything else. In just a few short years The Croc has gone from small neighborly games in the garage to competing in world wide events.

Charity
Very appreciative of his personal success, Ron Berry is one of the first to lend a helping hand to those in need. Some of his personal favorites are the local chapters of the Soroptimist, Moose Lodge and Bob Bergum’s ‘Toys for Tots’.
