About Chris

Coaching starts with the player.

Chris Riser is the founder and lead instructor of Reaper Pool School in Wilmington, North Carolina. A PBIA Advanced Instructor, National Billiard Academy instructor, and Marine Corps veteran, Chris helps players build games they can trust.

Chris combines disciplined fundamentals, clear communication, video analysis, and personalized development. The goal is not to make every student look the same. It is to help each player build a process that allows their best game to appear more often.

“I am not trying to change who you are as a player. I am helping you build a process you can repeat.”
