| Started bowling at the age of 4 with a hand me down 8lb ball. Used 2 hands until I was strong enough to hold the ball 1 handed – thinking back, maybe I should have stayed 2 handed, LoL… At the age of 10, I started to take the game a little more seriously for a 10 year old. Started bowling in 2 junior leagues and the love of the sport has blossomed since. Most weekends you can find me on the lanes doing Matchmaker events is the Mid-Atlantic states for SPI.

| I cannot really pick a favorite, but some greats had a hand in the bowler and supporter of the sport that I love so much. First off, Dave Davis – took time to help me as a junior at a Pro Ams and always had sure I got a picture with him. Next I would say John Wilcox, he also mentored me locally when he could. To me having a personal connection help me to develop. |
