生於1986年的一月16號,Glafond從小生長於美國馬里蘭州,學業成績不差,大學時期順利進入了美國知名的威斯康辛大學(University of Wisconsin-Madison)就讀。在Galfond的回憶裡,他年輕生涯充滿了和朋友間的小賭博,但也僅只於小賭對於他的撲克技巧並沒有太大的助益。然而,Galfond在2003年時挫學離開了威斯康辛大學,成為了一位職業撲克選手,開始了他不一樣的人生。

Galfond目前已經成為PLO(Pot limit Omaha)的頂尖玩家,同時專精於No limit Hold'em現金桌和錦標賽。但事實上,Galfond其實是從sng(Sit-n-go)小型錦標賽起家的,一路晉級至(PLO200/400,PLO500/1000)的超高額撲克現金桌。在著名的線上撲克黑色星期五之後,Galfond離開了線上撲克約有一年之久。但隨著PokerStars併購恢復了Full Tilt撲克站的營運後,大家又可以在這兩個著名站上看到Galfond在高額現金桌競賽的風采。Galfond在PokerStars/Full Tilt的註冊名稱分別為Mrsweets28/OMGClayAiken。

Galfond同時也是一位具有商業天份的撲克玩家,在2009年Galfond在職業撲克界聲勢如日中天時,Galfond成立了著名的撲克教學網站-藍火(Bluefire),並成為網站內的頭牌教練。如今,Galfond雖然已經離開了這個教學網站。但他位職業撲克選手所建立另一種的商業模式,也為現今許多知名職業撲克選手所仿效。
