Our History

Tom Nazarak realized at a very young age his love to build things with his hands. Tom used this love early in his professional career as a tool & die maker at Lincoln Electric.

In 1983 Tom took what he learned at Lincoln and began building his very first Dart Backboard to sell at his retail dart store. The first backboards were built in a friend's garage and took hours to make a single board.

The backboards were the first piece of inventory that Tom supplied himself. Prior to this all items were being bought from other vendors. Shortly after opening the dart shop, Tom began to sell pool tables. It didn't take long for him to determine that these tables were not up to the standards that Tom wanted for his customers.

This determination led to the very first T.C. Naz Pool Table. At this time the retail store was in a small shop in Willoughby, OH. Tom had some space in the basement and behind the building so he developed a modest wood shop. The business started to grow and Tom knew he had to find a better location to manufacture his tables.

T.C. Naz was moved to its present location in 1996. The new manufacturing facility gave Tom 10,000 square feet to expand his business. He started to make other items to compliment the pool tables such as dart cabinets, billiard lights, and cue cabinets. The only problem now was finding the time to get back and forth from the retail store and manufacturing plant.

In 2003 Tom broke ground on an expansion to the T.C. Naz factory in order to accommodate the Bullseye showroom. The new showroom would total 5,000 square feet with another 5,000 being added for offices and warehousing.

In March of 2007 Tom's son Jay decided to enter the business on a full time basis. Today Tom and Jay work together to manufacture high quality products and give all customers an enjoyable shopping experience. They look forward to continue giving customers endless hours of family entertainment and beautiful furniture to enjoy in their homes.
