Style: Right

I started bowling at the age of 11 as a way to spend time with my dad. Turns out I was pretty dang good at it! I’ve been grateful to have success at the youth, college, and professional level. When I’m not chasing PWBA titles I’m helping coach my alma mater to more NCAA titles. GO BIG RED! Outside of the bowling alley you can find me obsessed with the latest thriller novel, true crime podcast, or channeling my inner granny watching the Golden Girls or Murder, She Wrote.
