We are proud to formally announce that LMNTL has received a public endorsement from master table mechanic Mark Gregory. This endorsement reflects the standards, craftsmanship, and commitment to quality behind the LMNTL Genesis Line, and it represents a level of recognition that is exceptionally rare in the billiards industry.
Mark Gregory is widely regarded as one of the most respected figures in professional table mechanics and restoration. Over decades in the trade, he has built a reputation based on precision, integrity, and an uncompromising approach to how a pool table should perform. Because of that reputation, he is highly selective about where his name appears publicly.
Why This Endorsement Matters
Mark has trained many mechanics throughout his career. Very few have received his public endorsement. He has consistently declined to allow his name to be used casually or for marketing purposes, choosing instead to protect a reputation that took a lifetime to build.
For LMNTL, this endorsement is meaningful not because of branding value, but because it reflects alignment with the standards Mark has upheld throughout his career.
“I have rarely allowed my name to be used for public endorsement in this field, because my reputation has taken a lifetime to build. But Rick is different. Our friendship and history mean a great deal to me, and I have seen firsthand the integrity and commitment he brings to this craft. He does the work the right way, every time. It is no surprise that his business has earned the reputation it has. Rick has earned my respect, and he has earned this endorsement.”
— Mark Gregory
The Standards Behind the Genesis Line
The LMNTL Genesis Line was developed with a clear goal. To build pool tables that belong in the professional class of high-performance tables while presenting the level of craftsmanship expected from luxury furniture.
That standard is rooted in years of hands-on experience through DFW Billiard Professionals, extensive restoration work on historic tables, and direct mentorship under Mark Gregory. While Mark was not a designer or engineer on LMNTL tables, his influence shaped the standards applied to performance, structure, and long-term playability.
“That standard is rooted in years of hands-on experience through DFW Billiard Professionals, extensive restoration work on historic tables, and direct mentorship under Mark Gregory.”
The Standards Behind the Genesis Line
This endorsement affirms that LMNTL tables meet the expectations of one of the most respected craftsmen in the industry. It reinforces our commitment to building tables that play as well as they look and to maintaining the integrity of the craft at every level.
We are grateful for the trust behind this endorsement and committed to continuing to earn it through every Genesis Line table we build.
