About the Author
I was born in the sticks of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (no electricity or indoor plumbing). I joined the Air Force immediately after graduating from high school. After completing four years in the Air Force I entered college. I graduated from college in 1963 and spent my professional career as a Ground Water Hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. I became fascinated with the game of pool at a young age bit was not able to get serious about it until after graduating college. To accelerate my learning I read every book ever published (in English) on the subject. Although all the books were interesting they were not very informative. I decided then that someday I would write a book based on factual principals that could be translated to shot making at the table. For the next twenty five years I attended (mostly as an observer) every pro and non pro pool tournament that I could. I took notes at every event, after retiring from my professional career, I used these notes as a bases for my pool books. My books on pool are the result of many years of observation, participation, and experimentation. In my books I tried to focus on scientific reasoning as opposed to unverified opinion in developing and explaining the concepts of pool. Although scientific principals are followed, the books are written in easy to understand layman s terms.
