His story: Seth picked up his first cue at just 12 years old and quickly fell in love with the game. What started as a hobby turned into a lifelong passion, leading him into tournaments where he found both competition and community. A major influence in his journey was Andy Florez (Dec 1935 - Nov 2021), a mentor and grandfather figure who helped shape his game and mindset. Under Andy’s guidance, Seth developed a disciplined, confident style that continues to evolve today.
Seth currently competes in the APA pool league, holding a 7 Skill Level in 8-Ball and an 8 in 9-Ball for APA, along with Grand Master status in NAPA 8-Ball and A-Class rankings in 9-Ball, 10-Ball, and Fast 8.
Outside of competition, Seth gives back to the sport by volunteering at a local youth center, teaching kids to enjoy the game and reminding them that everyone starts somewhere. His goal is simple: keep learning, keep improving, and share his love of pool with the next generation.
