About Ernesto Dominguez

Ernesto was born on April 30, 1955 in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. At the age of 8, his father left the family, and he became the sole provider for his mother, four siblings, as well as himself. From shoe-shining, to janitor, to vendor of food, he struggled very hard to make ends meet for his family. Then at the age of 13, Ernesto shoe-shined at a poolroom, and that was when he was first introduced to the game. The first time Ernesto played, he played for both money and love of the game. From that point one Ernesto practiced every morning determined to become skilled in the game. After a small break from pool in order to support his family, Ernesto moved to California at the age of 19 to regaining playing the game he loved and to better his current situation. . Coming to the United States was a difficult experience for him. Learning from great players he improved dramatically. He has now been playing professionally for 26 years. One of Ernesto’s greatest skills and what has set him apart from others is how he has become one of the premier pool table mechanics in the country. Ernesto is once again supporting a family that consists of his wife Maria of 28 years, along with his two twin sons, Ernesto and Alonso, and youngest son Oscar.
