Jamie Baraks

He's obviously a good player, but who is he?

Jamie is a player from the IL/Iowa area. Nice kid, plays in a lot of my events. Excellent player, both his parents are also excellent players.

From what Ive heard, Jamie Baraks is not his real name but his road name. His real name is Jamie Wilson and he's the son of Mark Wilson who is a pro player. I believe Mark Wilson has a monthly column in either P&B or BD mag.

Yes, he does go by Wilson. I do not hear him go by Baraks much anymore. I am not sure, but I think that his mom Debbie married Mark Wilson and Jamie took on Marks last name. I maybe completely wrong. He is known by both in this area.

FYI, Mark's monthly column appears in Billiards Digest.

You are right except that I believe his mom and Mark are no longer together and he has since gone back to Baraks.
