Van Wood is a Floridian being born in Jacksonville and was the son of a career service man that traveled much of the United states. One of seven children, Van was fortunate to have the luxury of a pool table in his home growing up. He has always enjoyed the game of pool and many days spent hours just playing with his three brothers. He met his wife of forty two years in Galveston Texas. He has three children and four grand children. As the newest member of the Boynton Billiards family, Van comes from a fine jewelry background for over 40 years. Having been recently retired , an opportunity arose to join Josh Gibson at the newly acquired Fort Lauderdale location as a sales consultant. He brings a career of customer service and follow up that makes the luxury pool tables and other games a natural fit. He truly enjoys helping people and looks forward to making many new customers at the Fort Lauderdale location.
