A long time ago I had a real job, it involved Banks and Accounting and Auditing and an office with a desk. I sat at that desk and wasted 8 hours a day just so I could go home and build cues all night. I can remember looking at my watch before 9:00 am on a Monday morning hoping that several hours had passed, but I had only been in my office a few minutes! So after many years I quit my real job to build cues full-time. It was huge step and probably not the wisest, but I was young and full of energy. It was tough at first but with my loyal customers I made it. Now 15 years later I love my job as a Cuemaker and look forward to Mondays!!
Along the way I have acquired a shop some of the most advanced tools used in cue making today. My way of building cues is a vertically integrated system that allows me to start with raw lumber and finish with a true custom cue. I make every part of a DP cue except the tip, joint and rubber bumper.
I have been involved on the leading edge of cue making for a long time. I was one of the founding members of the American Cue Making Association. I am a certified ACA Cuemaker and I have served on the ACA Board of Directors for 2 terms. I take quality very seriously at DP Custom Cues. Every cue is built with an eye on quality and playability and hopely with some style thrown in for good measure. Every cue presented here is a One of a Kind cue that I am very proud of.
