Ever since i was young My dad has always played pool.  Naturally i wanted to be just like him so i started to play too.  In the year 2001 my dad and step-mom opened a family kitchen at a local bar called Cozzie's being in a bar all of the time you cant really stay away from the table.  Eventually through tournaments at Cozzie's and game play just for fun i was directed to a tournament in Colorado springs in which the winner qualified to play in the junior national tournament in Ann-arbor Michigan.  While i was there i had the honor of playing an instructional game of 9-ball with Jeanette Lee.  Though i didn't place in nationals it was still a fun road trip with my dad and a friend that made it to the nationals too not to mention playing a game with a world famous pool player..  About midway through my freshman year in high school we decided to no longer manage the kitchen  at cozzies.  After that i didn't play too much until my dad bought the TAP pool league.  Then i was playing three or four nights a week.  eventually when we stopped the league i almost completely stopped playing until my senior year where i found myself playing pool with my friends in my grandma's basement, the same place my dad learned to play!
