Veteran of over 20 years of league-leading play with the San Francisco Pool Association.  Now playing closer to home in the Diablo Valley Pool League.

With almost 40 years of playing experience, I've been exposed to many of the myths of the cue sports and I have to admit that I've believed and promoted some of them, at different points in time.

However, I've never stopped trying to learn and improve my game.  It is this continual striving for improvement that has led me to this point.  When I was introduced to the Masters Pool School SPF teaching methods in 2008, I was impressed by the advantages of a teaching/learning system that stresses the mechanics of your 'perfect' stroke and gives you the tools to develop it.  I sure wish this instructional program had been around when I first started playing.

In fact, this approach to learning pocket billiards ultimately promotes the development of your non-cognitive 'auto-pilot', which is what (or who) makes all your shots when you are 'in the zone'.
