Hi, my name is Ben Linares. I am in my Junior year of high school and live in Cary, North Carolina. My first experience with bowling was through the Wii U video game. I would play Wii sports all the time and fell in love with the bowling game! I joined my first Saturday youth league at age 5. We moved to North Carolina when I was 6, and bowling was still fun and it became clear that I wanted to be a more competitive bowler. I am extremely honored to be a part of the Storm Staff family and look forward to learning about and promoting the brand that has meant so much to me. In my spare time, I like to play video games, especially my theme park simulator! I also love to travel and spend time with my 2 dogs. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends from bowling and school. I am very friendly on and off the lanes, and love making new friends from across the country at bowling tournaments. I am Ambassador for Mindset Gear, which is a program that is committed to helping bowlers with their mental and emotional game. Bowling has taught me so many lessons that I can take with me in these next phases of my bowling career.
