"Pool presents a fascinating puzzle, unique with every break but subject to the same principles and tactics. Unpicking and untangling the mess of seven yellows and seven reds has captivated me from day one, and offers such a depth that I'm still figuring it out all these years later.

My pool journey began with my Dad. He's taught me everything he knows about the game, coaching me from my school days, through university years and right up to the present.

Outside of pool, I am a maths and physics tutor, after receiving a maths PhD at a Chinese university and an undergraduate-masters from Oxford. I love Doctor Who and have been enjoying creative writing set in that universe."
