We are a family owned and operated company working into our 16th year in business. Our company owner and billiard mechanic, Curt "Woody" Quezada, started his love for the game of pool at the early age of five. His grandfather, Robert "Woody" Woodruff, used to take him to the pool halls on Broadway and Alameda, among others, when he wanted to "shark" or "hustle" other players. The theory behind this was, who would start trouble with a man who had a kid clinging to his pant legs?
Curt used to sit on the bar stools with a cold bottle of Coke and a bomb popsicle until Grandad was done in the backrooms winning his money or losing his shirt. He would sometimes get into trouble for rolling balls on the table or trying to use a cue to take a shot. Hard to do when you are knee-high to an ant hill. As time went on he got older and better at the game he so loves to this day.
Grandad died on Veteran's Day in 1989, devastating his family and specially affecting Curt forever. Curt worked for a local pool table company during high school and into his early adult years. He followed in his Grandad's footsteps and went off to serve his country in the U.S. Army, achieving many awards and commendations. All the while he was still practicing and honing his skills as a pool player and billiards mechanic. After being honorably discharged from both Active Duty and the National Guard, Curt began to slowly work his way into the industry and has made a name for himself and his dedication to quality craftsmanship and hard work.
Curt adopted his Grandad's nickname as a way of honoring a great man and true mentor in his life. He holds true to his Grandad's teachings and "old-school" ways and passes them on to his beautiful children, who incidentally, are becoming quite the pool players themselves. In his own words, Curt honors his Grandad everyday by providing the kind of quality service at a fair price that his Grandad would have given if he were here today.
We as a company hold true to the teachings of a wonderful man, mentor, father figure and great pool player. We promise quality work, fair pricing, honesty, dedication and commitment to excellence. Thank you.
