I started bowling when I was 7 years old. Growing up, my parents exposed me to every sport. I enjoyed them all but I loved bowling. I love to compete. I love to have my heart race that certain way. I love to win. I think you have to learn how to win. I was fortunate to win my first tournament I ever bowled in. The 1986 BPAA US OPEN. I was in high school and I think it sent me on into my pro career, knowing how to win.

I am a silver level coach and enjoy giving back to the game that has given me my life. I love to teach and see the light bulbs go on when the students understand. I work for an awesome company–High Roller, running bowling/military tournaments in Las Vegas.

I love spending time with my family and friends. I love to smile and laugh. If I had not been involved in the bowling industry, I would of been a detective. I am fascinated by crime scenes. I could listen to and learn about forensics all day.
