Pool has been part of my whole life. I picked up a cue when I was about 5 or 6, and I never put it down. That was over 50 years ago.
Running Leagues and Tournaments
For over 38 years I have organized league and tournament pool. I love seeing players grow. I love the friends you make at the table.
How I Teach
As a billiard instructor, I start with the basics. Stance. Grip. Bridge. A smooth stroke. When those are solid, the rest gets easier. I teach mostly online, through video lessons I have already made. Once in a while I teach in person at a pool hall or bar, but not often.
