The Founder: A Return to the Table

Hooked and Hidden was founded by a seasoned competitor who understands exactly what it takes to climb the mountain of competitive billiards. Having previously reached the status of a skill level 8, our founder spent years mastering the nuances of position play, the mental discipline of the "clutch" shot, and the strategic depth required to dominate the table.

After taking a multi-year hiatus from the game, the fire for the sport never truly went out. Returning to the pool community, our founder recognized a gap: many incredibly talented "up-and-coming" shooters have the heart and the stroke to go Semi-Pro, but they lack the financial backing and the structured support system to get there.

Driven by a passion for mentorship and a desire to give back to the game that shaped them, our founder established Hooked and Hidden to be more than just a sponsorship LLC. It is a vehicle for growth. By leveraging years of high-level experience, our founder now focuses on identifying talent, providing the "stake" for high-pressure tournaments, and fostering a community where the next generation of shooters can fulfill their highest potential.
