Jack Cheng: Hello, my name is Jack Cheng. Jack wasn't my given name at birth, actually. My Chinese first name is Yuan, that's Y-U-A-N, but when my family moved to America, my parents and I decided to pick out for me an American name.
Now one thing I've always loved to do, ever since I've been able to count, was play card games, so when it came time to pick a name, it was obvious, Jack, although I guess I could have been Ace or King or Queen, but I'm kind of glad we ended up going with Jack.
