I started bowling in the local Bantam division of the AJBC (American Junior Bowling Congress) in Missoula Montana. They had a strong program for junior bowlers that developed my brother’s and my enthusiasm for the game. I watched my parents bowl league and kept score for them before automatic scorers were a thing. I won singles in the ‘B’ Division of the City Tournament when I was 11 years old and have loved the game ever since. While I served 20 years in the US Army, bowling was a great way to make friends at new duty stations. I met my husband in a military bowling center and even got married in house shoes. Today we bowl in sport leagues and love traveling with friends to tournaments. My proudest accomplishment is winning a gold medal at the National Senior Games in Mixed Doubles with Mike. Outside of bowling I enjoy golfing, cooking and making glass jewelry. I’m retired from the Department of Defense and now work part-time for MLB as a Game Day Staffer for the Baltimore Orioles. Mike and I also volunteer our time supporting the Storm Youth Championship Tournaments.
