I have lived in Arkansas for over 20 years. I started playing pool at 10 years old.  Later on in years I left the game to pursue other interests only to find myself right back at it years later. I joined a local pool league witch reminded me of my passion for the sport and the fun people had playing.

This Titleholder is typically the smallest one of the three yearly Titleholders due to the summer slow down but was purposely restricted even more so this year due to the national play offs scheduled into this already busy weekend.
