Started bowling at age 7 when asked to go to a baseball teammates bowling birthday party. Joined a league the next day. Developed competitively through various JBTs and other youth events until 21. Has had many great influences from amazing people over the years. A big thank you to all of you.

Greatest memory from the sport of bowling: Caddying for the Johnny Petraglia Open at Carolier when I was just a young boy. I was 11 years old and was assigned the late great Dave D'entremont. I could barely lift his triple bag lane to lane. He helped me and said, "don't worry son, you'll grow strong and be doing this one day!" And it's been a dream to be a professional ever since!
