From a small Illinois poolroom to more than six decades at the table.

Michael began playing pool and snooker as a teenager in McLeansboro, Illinois. Through observation, experimentation, and sustained practice, he developed his stroke, position play, and ability to compete with both hands.

Competition became a laboratory for the inner game.

His strongest performances were not only technical achievements. They were moments of calm, confidence, visualization, and complete concentration—the state he calls the perfect pool zone.

Meditation changed his relationship with pressure.

Transcendental meditation, affirmations, self-development study, and other practices became part of a wider philosophy: the player performs best when the mind is clear, the body is relaxed, and the shot is trusted.

A platform built to teach and preserve the work.

The redesigned site gives Michael’s biography room to breathe while linking the story directly to the book, audiobook, meditation series, photographs, tournament evidence, and future media appearances.

Books, audio meditations, and creative works centered on presence, confidence, and the inner game.
