When I was asked to be a part of the collegiate billiards program by coaching the U of I billiards team I was both excited and enthusiastic to get started. My own billiards career began at a very young age, and though I was fortunate to be involved with a great group of mentors and friends in the sport, I would have loved to play at the collegiate level. That being said the idea of helping create a great program of learning, sportsmanship and character overjoyed me.
I am honored and proud to be a part of what I consider the future of our great sport and I look forward to the journey.
