Uhh, mr and mrs deska? Duh?
Just kidding. I believe he is living in dc now. His dad, Ed is also a very good pool player and I believe their family is fro PA.
Did he win something? He does play very well.

I think he moved from there to Springfield , close to Fast Eddies , now the revolution , I see him there fairly often when I'm over that way ,, he's playing Jason Shaw in the finals of the Ginky ,, Paul Oh bought him for 60 dollars in the Calcutta 2.5 k if he wins 1k if he loses

I was at the Ginky and count me among Brian Deska's new fans. He played some wonderful pool.
The best match of the event may have been the winners bracket semifinal between Deska and last year's Ginky Memorial Champion Mike Dechaine. Both of them played well up to 7-7, but the rack Brian Deska ran on the hill was a thing of great beauty.
Well played, Brian, who ended up second.
Brian has rarely competed in New York and New England. Hoping that's about to change.

Part time player with full time skills.
I know Brian a little bit personally and he is a very knowledgeable professional away from the pool scene. Would be nice if he was able to get some sponsorship support to where he may be able to get to the bigger events around the country more easily. May have the potential to represent team USA if he can get some more big tournament experience and continue to deliver results. Either way, good guy and hope to see him continue to progress.

Nice guy, Brian became super-strong in the last five years or so. I'm counting on him to someday be the first Mosconi Cup player about whom I can say "I played him way back when he was only a local shortstop, not a world class player."
Even though his dad is a very strong one-pocket player, he didn't play that game much until more recent years. Back when he was just a great local 9-ball player, around 2005-2006, I used to cajole him into a one pocket game now and then. How times change.

Also a horrible 1 pocket player
Brian epitomizes what a pool player should be and I'm glad to have him in many of the regional tournaments around here.
It's great to see him doing so well against some of the best players in the US.
If anyone knows where I can get a video of his match with Dechaine, I'd appreciate it. I didn't get to see the match.

Ya know...?
About 5yr ago, max Eberle beat him an ahead-set for for figures pretty quickly. Iirc, is was to 8.
Coincidence? Hmmm...almost interesting.
Max is beast Im not sure the outcome would be differant today ,, I would like to see Brian in some bigger Turneys , I don't consider him a world class level player just yet but he's capable of knocking off some very good players at anytime

Get in touch with Upstate Al. He mentioned at some point recording the matches and making them available.

Brian's originally from Philly. Now he's the house pro at First Break in Sterling, Va.
His dad is very strong in straight pool and one-hole.
Brian, according to what he told me at Steinway, is basically concentrating on 9-Ball and 10-Ball.
He's soft-spoken, conducts himself very well on and off the table.
Brian's comeback from being down 6 to 3 against Dechaine was beautiful.
Dechaine was so upset by that loss that he quickly folded in his next match and was out of the tournament and left Steinway immediately.
If he's play Dechaine at Steinway, maybe we'll see a Deska cameo on The Hustlers?
That would be nice for those of us that know him ,, but I beleve all the episodes have been shot ,,
As for Mike and him checking that's the type things his critics point to as why he was not on the MC team
