Biography

I found myself starting a Mechanical Engineering degree at Utah State somewhat later in life than most. My first semester on scholarship I took a billiards class to fill my 12th credit. Subsequent semesters found me taking more billiards classes even though I didn't need the credit. The old instructor and I became good friends and I began covering classes for him when his health struggled. He encouraged me to get certified as a billiards instructor in order to cover a summer class for him. I certified through the Billiards Congress of America in November of 2010. Between that semester and Spring of 2011, I found out that he had quit and moved to Phoenix. I contacted the HPER department and was offered the Billiards Instructor Job, as he had recommended me for the position. Teaching Billiards has been quite rewarding for me, and although it derailed my plans to become an Engineer, I wouldn't change that decision.
