This guy is from Winnipeg and I've had the pleasure of playing him many times. I've seen him develop from a kid with desire to a young man with a great game. He has had some great showings in the past, like beating all the top guns (Strickland,Pagulayan,Archer etc.) on the way to a 9th at the U.S. Open. If he ever decides to make pool his top priority, I believe he could be a real force. If the sport will ever become more financially rewarding, I believe we will see a lot more great talent coming up. Its to bad that so many have to decide between making a living and giving pool a real chance.
