Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada
Style: Right
I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada surrounded by bowling my entire childhood! My family is
no stranger to the game with them all competing in the sport of bowling as well as all owning pro
shops throughout their careers. My dad and step dad were both on team USA, and my father went to
Wichita for college bowling under Gordon Vadakin. Basically, it was in my blood to be a bowler!
Growing up, I spent a great deal of time in pro shops and learning the equipment and the game
starting in elementary school. I was shown the ins and outs of how things were done, and by the time
I was in middle school I was working on my own equipment. Not long after that, I started working on
customers equipment and by high school I was running them full time! After a couple years of the pro
shop industry, I went to Arizona State University where I became a 2x First Team All-American and a
2x runner up Bowler of the Year!
Since then, I have been bowling a couple regionals per year and have traveled around to many of the
big amateur events around the country. I am currently a proprietor of Orchard Mesa Lanes and
Nadeau’s Pro Shop in Grand Junction, Colorado where I coach many youth bowlers with dreams of
becoming PBA stars!
This past year in 2024 I started taking bowling a bit more serious by focusing on my game and
getting sharp on the lanes. I was rewarded with some immediate success by winning the Storm Utah
Open, winning the $10,000 TAT scratch event, and placing 7th at the USBC Masters tournament early in
the year! I felt like I had to finally make a big decision with my bowling career after these
events. With some help from friends and family, I decided to make bowling my full time profession by
joining the PBA! Not long after I announced the decision to join the PBA, I earned a PBA national
exemption for the 2025 season through Tour Trials in Chicago! What a crazy experience it has been so
far!
FUN FACT!! - My highest 3 game set is TWO HANDED at 858! Not many know, but I can effectively throw
the ball two handed regularly and two handed backup! I have been practicing two handed ever since I
was a young kid!
