In April 2002 this champion won her first league by carefully studying the previous League winners to learn their secrets to becoming the best S&M players. Sharon found the help she needed by taking a tip from 5 time champion Donna: get a dog!

After trying several breeds, she found that lhasa apsos have the best card playing instincts. So her puppy Shelby shares the spotlight with Sharon.

Sharon has also raised 3 aspiring S&M players. Two are teenagers still at home in South Carolina, while her daughter is now competing on the college circuit.

When Sharon isn't winning games online, she keeps her hands busy with playing tennis and making quilts.
