Hometown: Niagara Falls, New York

Style: Right

I believe I am an easy-going person who fell in love with bowling at the age of 4 by my parents. I am very close to them as well as the rest of my family. I am also a fan of most sports, especially baseball. I have been a Yankees fan most of my life. I love most food and working out in the gym in my free time. I just try to be the best person I can be on and off the lanes. My favorite quote someone told me years ago was "Be true to yourself".
