 Tom Ross began playing and studying pool as a youngster in the 1960’s. In 1978 his teaching career began with an accredited PE course at the University of Illinois and his goal soon shifted from a desire to be the best player to becoming the best teacher and sharing his knowledge with as many students as possible to elevate their skills and maximize their enjoyment of our beautiful game. Since then Tom has personally taught or coached over 4,500 students including National and International Champions. Each month he reaches thousands more with his columns in Cue Times Billiard News, Professor Cue Ball and his monthly column on the Ozone Billiards website.

 Hi,
I'm Samm Diep and my pool/billiard mission is to continue to advance
technically, intellectually, and professionally as a World Class
Pool Player in every respect of the term.
I am a competitive tournament pool player. I was recently coined
"Cherry Bomb" for my fiery red hair and explosive break
at the table. I am also a professional business person, believing
that diversification and creating a professional image or "brand",
brings value to both me, as well as my future sponsors.
By training along side some of the top billiard instructors in
the nation, within two years, I won my first two national titles.
I continue to challenge myself daily with a disciplined training
program of at least 30 hours a week of practice, physical training
at the gym, as well as traveling to local, regional, and national
tournaments. Some call it tenacity, while I believe it is simply
a passion for the thing that I love the most.
I am very aware that through strong values, discipline, and a
positive self-image, my goal of representing myself as an ambassador
in the sport of billiards will continue to grow. I consider myself,
above all else, a happy and gracious person, whose main mission
in life is to inspire others while making a positive impact on the
world around me, one pool hall at a time.
