About Debbie

She has been married to Dan for more than 44 years. When she first started working for Joss Cues, Debbie cut shafts, glued tips, and put in inlays. After some time, it became apparent that her skills were more needed in the front office. There she handles the day-to-day operation of the business and coordinates with the shop to keep the company running smoothly.

About Stephen

He started working for the company in 1979 when he was 18 years old. Stephen learned the trade from his dad and made his own contribution to the company’s process of cue making. With his years of hands-on experience, he earned his own place of distinction in the business.

Thanks to Stephen’s hard work and love for cue making, he was made a major partner in designing and creating Joss Cues®. In 2017, The American Cue Makers Association named him as Cue Maker of the year.
