Hello! I’m 36 years old and from the small town of Tampico Illinois! I was a multi sport athlete throughout my younger years and didn’t pick up bowling until around the age of 21! All it took was one 12 week mixed league and I was hooked, and I’ve been bowling non stop ever since! My home center is currently in Clinton Iowa at Plaza bowl. One of the nicest bowling centers you’re going to find and also one of the best proprietors that bowling could ask for!

Who / What Got You Started in Bowling?

The drive to stay competitive got me started in bowling. High school and college athletics were winding down and being the competitive person that I am, I wanted to find a sport to learn and compete. My first ever bowling ball was Brunswick Power Groove, and from the very beginning I knew I was going to be hooked and just wanted to continue getting better.

What Do You Love About the Sport?

There’s a lot to love about the sport of bowling. The number one thing for me is the people! There are so many great people in our industry, and I feel insanely lucky to have met the people that I have throughout my journey. The competitiveness is another thing I love about it. The drive to get better. Never feeling satisfied, even after a tournament win or a 300 game. Bowling is a sport where you can continue to learn and grow as a player l.

Favorite Bowling Memory

Nationals in Las Vegas last year. Team event specifically. We had gotten off to a bad start game 1 (934 I believe). But we never gave up, and had a solid game two. Game 3 is what was really special. One of my teammates was able to pop off 300 and we shot a 1215 which I believe was one of the top 5 team games of the entire tournament. We ended up finishing top 50 and I’m looking forward to competing with them guys again this year in Reno!

Who is Your Favorite Bowler?

Dom Barrett.

I just love watching the guy bowl. His game is so effortless and the hard work and dedication to the sport is something that I don’t think you can overlook. Whenever I’m watching the PBA streams, I catch myself following how Dom is doing quite a bit.
