Born in Chicago in 1970, Big Al moved to Las Vegas in 1980. Initially a high school athlete, he found his passion in the sports gaming industry, starting at the Las Vegas Hilton in 1993. He briefly worked as a flight attendant for ATA Airlines in the late 1990s before returning to sports gaming. With over three decades in the industry, Alfred is a devoted family man, father of four adults, and proud grandfather of eight, maintaining a strong commitment to faith and spirituality in his life.
One-Legged Willy, an original member of 702 Sports from the very first episode, is a fun-loving neon green skeleton with one leg and the raw ability to play off Big Al’s quirky-ness. He loves the Raider’s and is believed to be from New Jersey, but no one has actually asked him.
