I’ve been invited to represent America in the 2025 World Pool Championship. With your help, I’ll have the time and resources to train full-time and bring my best game to the world stage.

Hello friends, Max here.

I’ve got some exciting news and a big opportunity: I’ve accepted my invitation to represent the United States in the World Pool Championship this July in Saudi Arabia.  This is the World 9-Ball Championship. 

Being invited to compete in the World 9-Ball as I have been many times, is always one of the biggest honors of my life.
I’ve spent decades in this game—grinding, learning, teaching, competing—and now I get the chance to bring my game to the highest level, with the stars and stripes on my back.

Right now, I’m training full-time in my hometown of Dover, Ohio—thanks to a great friend who gave me access to a solid table—and putting in serious hours every day (9 to 12+). But as you know, this kind of preparation and travel comes with big expenses: airfare, hotel, entry fees, meals, equipment, and everything in between. I’m working on sponsorships, but just in case those don’t cover it all, I’m opening this door for anyone who wants to be part of the journey.

This isn’t just about me. If you’ve ever believed in chasing your dream, representing your country, or just running the rack when it matters most, then you’re already part of this mission.

Your contribution helps me to:
✅ Compete to bring the title of Champion of the World back to the USA, and the first place prize of $250,000, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia July 21-26 at the WPC(World Pool Championship) a.k.a. World 9-Ball Championship

Whether you donate $10, $100, $1,000, or simply share this with someone who might want to help, it all helps!

Thank you for believing in me and for your support!
I’m giving it everything I’ve got—for the love of the game, for all of you, and for the red, white, and blue.

Let’s go make history!
