When and why you started playing pool – A few years ago, mainly because of the lack of wheelchair snooker tournaments.


How often do you practice – I practise snooker most of the time, but practise pool for 2 or 3 weeks before each tournament.

 How do you practice – I play lots of matches against different people, but also have a few solo sessions in which I practise specific shots.

The biggest thing you have learned in pool – There is a very fine line between winning and losing.

Your pool career ambition – To reach a ranking event semi-final firstly, then hopefully a final. It will be very difficult to win a tournament, but might be possible.

Your biggest pool achievement – Watch this space…

Hobbies – Films, Reading, Drawing/Painting, Going out and about with friends

What motivates you -  I enjoy competing, and just want to play to a standard that hopefully demonstrates I’m a decent player.
