A Little About Me
I ran my first six pool balls in a row at just 5 years old in 1981 at Self’s Coney Island in Wagoner, Oklahoma. By the age of 10, I had won my first tournament—a snooker event at the Sure Shot in Wagoner. From an early age, it was clear that billiards came naturally to me.
Fast forward to 1990 and 1991, when I won the Oklahoma Junior State Championships two years in a row. During that same period, I ran my first 75-ball straight pool run and even defeated Willie Mosconi in an exhibition 9-ball match at the Billiard Palace in Tulsa.
Over the years, I’ve won more than 100 tournaments, including Oklahoma state titles in both 8-ball and 9-ball. In 2022, I won the Matchroom ranking event, the Sandcastle Open, and followed it with a deep run at the U.S. Open Pool Championship.
I know what it takes to compete, improve, and win. My passion is sharing that knowledge with players of all skill levels. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to take your game to the next level, I’m here to help.
