I am located in Rio Vista, CA which is centrally located in the Sacramento delta between the Bay Area and Sacramento, and has been home to my wife Sharon and I since 2019. I have been a pool mentor, instructor and active player in Northern California for the last 30 years, and I plan to continue mentoring pool players of all levels - beginner to advanced - long after I retire and up until the day God calls me to play a set.

I received my PBIA (Professional Billiard Instructors of America) instructor credential from Randy Goettlicher’s Master Academy Cue-Tech Pool School in Dallas TX, and I was subsequently certified as an Advanced Level Instructor by the late Scott Lee. My mentorship sessions are usually out of my home in Rio Vista, or any of the northern California area pool rooms, and private residences upon arrangement. I have also been background certified by the PBIA (PBIA Home Page) for working with women & children, seniors and students of all ages. 

As a player, I am a regular fixture in the Northern California pool scene, and I have won my fair share of many events. I also regularly play at regional events and at the BCA Nationals in Las Vegas annually as a Platinum division player where I have enjoyed much success in singles, scotch doubles, and team events.
